Anne graduated from Campbellsville High School and Campbellsville College. After graduation, Anne went to work at Campbellsville Baptist Church, and would become its longest tenured employee, serving as church secretary for 49 years.
Anne had a playful and curious mind, and was ceaselessly devoted to her faith, her family and her friends. Anne was always up for an adventure, whether it be zip-lining, traveling to 48 states, riding mopeds in Gatlinburg, or whatever was next, and always ready for a good round of Rook or a CU ball game.
In addition to her parents, she was predeceased by her sister, Bettye Jean Kincheloe, and her special cousin, Louise Morgan.
Thanks to all who visited, prayed, called and sent well wishes. She read and enjoyed every card and loved every one of you.
Anne is survived by her nieces Karen Patton of Chicago, and Laura Kincheloe of Lexington, her extended family in Illinois, her devoted neighbors, and her church family.
