Anne Marie Richard, 76, of Port Orchard WA, died peacefully on Wednesday, May 8th, 2024 in Avamere Rehabilitation at Ridgemont after a period of declining health. Her daughter Brenda Sutton was at her side.
Anne was born in Leominster, Massachusetts on September 6, 1947, to Alex and Edmee (Richard) Richard.
Anne graduated Gardner High School with the class of 1965. She had an extensive 20-plus-year career with the US Postal Service and retired as a Postmaster in Bradford, RI in the early 90's.
After retirement, she fulfilled her dream of moving to the beach and spent several years in Florida moving in to a career in medical transcription with a team that was like family.
She was a proud member of Mensa and loved playing bingo.
There was hardly a hobby untouched by Anne. From cross-stitch, crochet, to diamond painting - she did it all! As an avid quilter, she and her daughter Brenda helped assemble quilts for Denim for Defenders; an organization dedicated to giving blankets to homeless veterans in Western Washington. Anne leaves behind a legacy of love, creativity, and service that will forever ripple through the lives she touched.
Anne is survived by her two loving daughters Brenda (John) Sutton of Port Orchard, WA and Angela (Matthew) Johnson of Athol, MA; three adored grandsons Jackson Cody Sutton, Graham Connor Sutton and Charles Anthony Johnson; plus several cousins and friends.
In addition to her parents, Anne was predeceased by her beloved son-in-law, John Earl Sutton, Jr.
There are no services at this time. She will be interred with her Mother and Father at St. Cecelia's Cemetery in Leominster, MA later this summer.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to a charity of your choice. Please reference in memory of Anne Marie Richard.
