I am a member of the Y and when joining I started by coming to Anne Marie classes which was the class I always had attended. It was a great class and she kept us going. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family and friends. She will be truly missed. When I learned of her passing I was devastated. It was after her service that I had learned of this. My deepest condolences.Very sorry for your loss.

I am so sorry to hear of Anne Marie's passing. She was the first instructor I encountered when I first joined the Y ten years ago. I will miss her smiling face and encouraging words she had for everyone. She was a real inspiration to everyone in her class. I am sorry for your loss.

Sending love to all that knew Anne. I had the opportunity to work along side her at the YMCA for years. She was a ray of light with her classes. She loved her family so much and would share her stories daily. Thoughts and prayers❤

As a Livestrong participant at the Northeast Family YMCA, I had the privilege of partipating in Anne Marie's SilverSneakers classes. She is a strong, motivational, and caring instructor. Her classes were so much fun that it inspired me to get certified to teach SilverSneakers. Sending hugs to family and friends. ❤
