Ann
B. Anger, 93, of Richard Street in Winooski died peacefully on
February 3, 2025, at the McClure Miller Respite House.
She
was born on September 1, 1931, in Burlington, the daughter of Joseph
Beaulieu and Marguerite Tatro Beaulieu. She graduated from Burlington
High School and the Mary Fletcher School of Nursing. She was married
to the love of her life, Joseph Anger, on December 27, 1952, in
Burlington.
After
short stays in Plainfield and White River Junction, Joe took a job at
Winooski High School, and they moved to Winooski in 1959, where Mom
lived in the family home on Richard Street for 65-plus years.
She
worked in nursing early in life and until Joe and Ann had four boys
in less than four years. For the next decades, her job was rearing
her four sons and homemaking, after which she started her next
career, working for the IRS until she retired. She was an
accomplished artist and enjoyed going to garage sales and auctions
with Joe after her retirement. She was a very smart and intuitive
lady, as evidenced by her filing her own taxes and using her beloved
iPads daily until her death. She loved family gatherings throughout
the years at her home, sons’ houses and the Anger family camp in
North Hero, where she got to see her three generations of offspring
hanging out together.
Ann
is survived by sons Joseph (Kathryn), David (Lori), Stephen and
daughter-in-law Deborah Anger; her Anger grandchildren, Nicholas
(Chiara), Amber, Joseph (Lisa), Keith (Rebecca), Robert (Tiffany),
Adam and Jennifer Lavalley (Topher) and Keith Lavalley (Megan); six
great-grandchildren; her sister Beverly O’Neill; her sister-in-law
Marion Howard; and several nieces and nephews.
Ann
was predeceased by her parents and father and mother-in-law; her
husband, Joseph, in 1994; her son James in 2021; and her brother, J.
Ronald Beaulieu, and sister Rhea Reynolds.
Visiting
