Mourning the Loss of Anne Arthur

Anne Virginia Ailes Arthur was called home to heaven early Sunday morning, January 29, 2012, by her beloved sisters Lillian and Martha. She was surrounded by her family and their love as she left this world to rejoin her husband, John Arthur; her mother and father Dora and Charles Ailes; and her sisters Martha Beakes and Lillian Butler in heaven. Those left will miss her dearly; for to know Anne was to love her. She accepted, loved, and allowed everyone to be their beautiful selves. Personal: Anne enjoyed playing cards, watching old movies, doing the jumble, and caring for her gorgeous African violets. Anne lovingly volunteered for many years in the Warren Hospital gift shop. Survivors: Dearest to her heart were her five children and their families, daughter Elizabeth Cody and her husband Ken McGrath, her children Elizabeth and Matthew and their spouses Robert Assande and Kathy Kalfut, and grandchildren Luke and Anna; son, Ronnie Arthur and his wife Jeanette, and their daughter Jeannine and her husband Jeremy Downing; son, John Arthur and his daughters Phyllis and Mary; and their spouses Greg Post and Rich DeSanto, and grandchildren Joshua, Jessica and Rachel; daughter, Catherine Manzella and her children Thomas and Kim, their spouses M lissa Manzella and Scott Strohecker, and grandchildren Brily, Austin, DeLaney, and Eric; son Albert Arthur and his wife Barbara, and their children Allison and Christopher, their spouses Philip May and Alison Hultin, and their grandchildren Noah and Evan. Take my hand, Precious Lord, lead me home.
