I knew Anne for the last three decades. She had a strong sense of social justice and fairness. She had great integrity. I will miss her guidance, clear thinking, belief in humanity, and her cheeky humour. RIP Anne xx

Anne was a dearly-loved & dedicated member of our local Amnesty International community. Her cheerful enthusiasm, strong ethical convictions and endless energy in support of human rights were an absolute inspiration to us, remaining remarkably strong even after nearly 9 decades of life! Her absence leaves a huge hole in our team & in our hearts. We deeply grieve her passing and send our warmest sympathy to her wide extended family as they adjust to this sudden loss.
