Anne was one of ten children born to the late Bill and Nancy Cherry. She was raised in West Roxbury, a graduate of Copley Square High School. Anne cherished her many friends and always spoke fondly of her days at Billings Field. At just 19 years old Anne met the love of her life, Bill, with whom she shared over 45 years of marriage. Anne was a force, her energy could not be matched. She loved life and was always the life of the party especially if there was good music and dancing. Anne will be fondly remembered and greatly missed by all who knew her because to know her was to love her.
