Following the family's move from East Ham London, to Leigh-on-Sea Essex, Anne was the first of the family to be educated at Westcliff High School. Anne worked and lived around the UK and also briefly in South Africa, she was adventurous and followed several different career paths, excelling in everything she turned her hand to.

Anne is survived by her former husband Bobby Kellard of Southend; her four siblings, Jeffrey (Sylvie) of Devon, Margaret (Jim) of British Columbia Canada, Susan (Duncan) of San Felipe Mexico, and Christopher (Melanie) of Nottinghamshire, who will all miss their 'big sister' with her sunny smile, great sense of humour, caring and generous ways, and stories of her many adventures.
