A lovely commemoration for a lovely lady. Anne was the kind of person that made you feel welcome at her table. I’m a better person for having met her.

Debbie and Alan, Miss Anne was such a sweet lady and mom really enjoyed sharing a room with your mom. We are so sorry for your loss.
Keith and I send our heartfelt sympathies to you and your family. We were lucky enough to have met Mrs. Riffe and spend time with her. She is a beautiful and very sweet soul. Heaven definitely received an angel. Bless you all!
I worked with Anne for 20 years. She was so sweet and special. I could listen to her talk forever in that beautiful English accent. I will miss her so much. Go with God Anne. I know you are one of His special angels. ❤️
Grandma Ann was not my Granny by blood but she was one of the few women that had an influence on me growing up. I always admired her dedication to family and her humor. She had a spirit to her where she didn’t hold back her observations and always gave us a good laugh. She was such a kind hearted woman and she will be missed dearly.
Sweetest lady! So glad we met. Wishing peace to her family.
