Condolences to Anthony and Wally. I have great memories of Anne going way back to when I got a wool bale of toy stuffing delivered here for her many years ago and you calling in to the showgrounds market in Bendigo.
Walter and family, sorry we can’t be with you to say goodbye, we are thinking of you. We have lots of great memories of our times at Lake Edge. We were very lucky to spend some time with Anne in her last few days.
Oh Anne you were such a positive presence, always bringing warmth and light wherever you went. A true patchwork queen, your creativity and talent were only matched by your kindness and generosity. Your smiling face and wonderful company made every moment brighter, and I will miss you.
My heartfelt condolences to Walter and the family.

To Walter, Catherine, Anthony, Eileen and extended family,
Our thoughts are with you all at this saddest of times.. If there was a job to be done then Anne stepped up to do it without any hesitation.
Thank you Anne for taking on the position of the Kerang VFF Secretary in the 1980’s.
Her cheerful smile and positive nature will be sorely missed.
Allan and Christine.
Anne some 25 years ago we met you & Walter each year at Lake Edge & it won’t be the same without seeing you there. Luckily we got to visit you this year, may you rest in peace.
Our thoughts are with you Walter, fondly remembered Billy & Trish Tymensen.
Anne, Kerang quilters and Church mice will never be the same without you. Your love of life, wonderful sense of humour and telling of tales will be missed by us all. RIP Anne.

Cohuna Patchwork Group members have great memories of Anne, who was a former member, President and office bearer. Her wicked sense of humour at our annual retreats and other days ensured lots of fun and laughter, and she was always willing to pitch in with her knowledge of Patchwork and sewing. Sending our love and sympathy to Walter and family..
Anne you were so brave and positive. You will be sadly missed with your advice etc at quilters and your cheery attitude. Sincere condolences to Walter and family. RIP Anne.
Love Pam Mayne.
God, I will miss Annie, meeting up with her on Patchwork days and her sense of humour. We always stirred each other about who had the biggest stash – Annie always won!
Love Coralee. ❤️ ❤️
My friend, my mate, my CWA comrade in Melbourne. I will miss you so much, I remember the big hug and photos in the church. The memories are mine to keep. We all loved and treasured your friendship. Fly high lovely lady, till we meet in God’s sewing room. Love you.
I will meet you some time in the future where the sewing machines never play up, there is no need for unpicking and the quilting material is free. We will talk and sew and laugh and hug and be pain free.
Anne was such a good friend to my mum Pam Brown and a lovely quilter.
Have a fun time in heaven with mum!
Wonderful times spent together at C.W.A meetings. Your creativity was so inspiring and the fun and laughter we shared will always be remembered.
Rest peacefully.

Deepest sympathy and love to Walter and families on the loss of your beloved Anne. A person and friend who shared so much with her quilting friends. Anne made many quilts and donated them to special causes. I will miss our fun and laughter shared on quilting days. Knowledge that you provided to us will be sadly missed by all who came in contact with you. The angels quilting group will welcome you with open arms. I will miss you dearly Anne but will never forget you. You were an inspiration to us all.
All my love, Lorraine.
Anne always had a smile and up for chat when we meet in the street or supermarket.
Condolences to her family. R.I.P. Anne
So sad to hear of Anne’s passing. So many memories of times spent while in the CWA at Dingwall. So many happy chats when we met in the street & caught up with all the local news in CWA. You will be so missed by so many. Your laughter was so infectious. Deepest sympathy to all your family. May you now rest in peace.
Loving memory of a dear friend. Member of Ex Kerang Branch CWA. A very talented lady. Sympathy to Walter and family. She will be remembered.
At rest after years of pain.
Love from Nancy.
Walter and family, Anne will leave a hole in many folks and groups lives. She was always sharing her thoughts, and her amazing sense of humour. Laughter was definitely the best medicine in our lives. She could whip up anything, crochet sachet hangers, quilts for those in need and took great pleasure in making a special one for her family members, but the thing I had to learn was one thread embroidery. Mine was very ordinary. She made many goodies from the veggie patch Walter tended, but always let us know it was a chore sometimes. We loved our cuppas, sewing days and world discussion occasionally, but she always spoke of her family, especially the younger members in endearing terms.
Treasure the memories, and I am sure she will be an angel wherever she goes.
Kath and Colin.
Sincere condolences to Walter and family, so sorry to hear of Anne’s passing. A lovely lady who will be sadly missed. May your memories bring you comfort.
Love from Tony and Teresa Moretti and family. Xxx
I will miss Anne and our chats at Church Mice. We could always find something to laugh about. The Teddies will miss their rides with you and Walter.
I hope they have a fabulous quilting Group where you have gone for you to enjoy from now on.
