Anne worked at Danny’s Grill, a restaurant owned by her family in Cohoes, NY and was a waitress at the former Andrew’s Restaurant in Brunswick, NY. Anne was also a member of the former St. Rita’s Church Sodality in Cohoes, NY. Anne truly had a love for life and lived hers to the fullest. Anne’s greatest joy in life came from simple pleasures such as good food, cooking, reading, socializing and spending time with her family. Anne enjoyed spending time at the Saratoga Race Course or casinos where she always managed to win and was often deemed to be the “luckiest” by those closest to her. Anne loved taking vacations and especially adored her yearly visits to Lake George, NY as she enjoyed recounting the honeymoon she took there with her late husband. Anne always had a positive and spirited attitude, as well as a wonderful smile that could light up a room. Anne was extremely generous, forgiving and always managed to put the needs of others before her own. Anne put much effort into instilling these same values in her children and grandchildren. On any given Sunday you could find Anne in the kitchen preparing sauce, macaroni, and meatballs for her family and anyone who happened to appear at her doorstep that day. Survivors include her children who she cherished, Daniel (Donna) Lewis, Lynne (Richard) Clickner, Robert (Kim) Lewis and Gregg (Dorothy) Lewis. Grandmother to Daniel Lewis, Eric Lewis, Tara Lewis, Heather Clickner, Erica (Richard) Cleveland, Danielle Lewis, Joseph Lewis, Jessica (Garrett) Mallison, and Nicholas Lewis.
