Anna M. (Osborne) Tobin entered into rest on April 11, 2015. She was96 years old and died peacefully of natural causes. She was predeceased by her husband Attorney Francis J. Tobin and a son in childbirth.

Anna was the daughter of the late William P. Osborne from Newfoundland and Margaret A. (Hamill) Osborne from Ireland. She graduated from St. Mary’s High School in Lynn and Burdett College. She was a kind woman with an easy going disposition and was always devoted to her family. In her early years during World War II, she worked at General Electric in Lynn and after the war married her husband Francis. After the wedding, she became a homemaker raising her family. In her later years, she became an avid golfer and especially enjoyed playing in tournaments. She was also known for her talented seamstress abilities. She will be missed but to know she is at peace with our Lord in heaven is very comforting for the family at this time.
