Anne was pre-deceased by her husband, Edward U. Ogden, and son, Dennis E. Ogden. As a Brooklynite, Anne was an avid baseball fan, especially of her beloved Brooklyn Dodgers, even leaving work one year when there was a victory parade after they had won the National League Pennant. She talked about running to the car that Pee Wee Reese was in and snatching his pocket square. Later in her life, after the Dodgers left Brooklyn for the west coast, she became an avid New York Mets fan.

Anne and Ed relocated to Danbury from Shrewsbury, NJ after Ed’s military career. She was a long-time communicant of St. Peter’s Parish in Danbury. Anne also volunteered at both Danbury Hospital and St. Peter’s School, which her four youngest children attended. Anne was very active in a local group Widows and Widowers.

Her family wishes to extend heartfelt thanks for the staff of Regional Hospice, especially to Kelly Krepil and Beth Murphy for looking after her and helping her family deal with Mom’s issues.
