Anne Marie was born December 7, 1940 in Castries, St Lucia, a beautiful island in the Eastern Caribbean Sea. Even as a youth she was a devout Catholic. She was an active member of the Basilica of the Immaculate Conception where she enjoyed singing as a member of the choir. As she was very fond of children and education, she began an early career in teaching at the age of 16 in St. Lucia. She then came to the United States in 1958. Anne Marie’s professional career started as an Administrative Secretary with HIP of New Jersey/HCP of New Jersey for seven years, and then as a Medical Secretary and Office Manager for Mid Florida Surgery Center during her five years employment, and most recently as Support Personnel to both the Audit and Evaluation and the Families Parks and Recreation Departments with the City of Orlando for a total of eleven years. For the past 25 years, Anne Marie has been a devout member of St. Charles Borromeo Catholic Church. Her community involvement included several committees at St. Charles Borromeo Catholic Church to include Minister of Holy Communion, Sacristan Committee, Minister of the Bereavement Committee and a Member of the Council of Catholic Women. As well, she was active in the community at large. Anne Marie’s altruistic activities lead her to volunteer at Edgewater High School for five years and to be involved with many other civic activities during her years in the Orlando community. Anne Marie’s personal interests include reading, traveling worldwide, singing, writing, cooking and baking and entertaining at her home for any celebratory occasion. She also enjoyed attending the Opera and Theatre.
