Anne Philipps Obituary
Anne M. Philipps, nee Reynolds, age 79,
devoted mother of Mark (Dena) Philipps, Kari (Chris) Gambotz, Kelli (Scott) Kalata, Tim (Jody Thom) Philipps, Jacki (John) Vosper, Patrick (Chrissy) Philipps, and the late Kevin Philipps. Proud "Pink Grandma" of 14 grandchildren. Loving sister of Eddie (Doris) Reynolds, the late Tom Reynolds, and the late Teri Rybicki. Favorite Auntie Anne of many nieces and nephews. Anne filled every room with warmth, laughter, and comfort; her quiet strength carried those around her through both life's joys and challenges. She lived with an open heart, sharing love freely, touching countless lives. Anne had an army of friends, always nurturing connection. She found beauty and joy in the simplest moments - a cozy sweatshirt on a crisp day, a heartfelt chat over coffee, watching the trees dance in the wind or ducks glide across the water. Anne's singing silent laughter was contagious, her smile ever-present, and her ability to see the best in everyone was one of her greatest gifts. Her kindness, comfort, humor, and boundless love made the world a brighter place. She will be deeply loved and forever missed - her spirit a constant presence, her lessons and love carried on in the hearts of all who knew her.
