Anne Greer McCann

Born in Hyde Park, Chicago, IL to her father Dr. John R. Lindsay, and mother Elisabeth ("Libby") Wood, Anne was 'the middle one' of 3 sisters: Christena, the eldest, and Elisabeth, the youngest. She was a bright and spirited child: very outgoing. Oddly enough, she was quite a tomboy. She opted for the cello as her musical instrument so she wouldn't need to wear a skirt. Anne's hobbies growing up included horseback riding; dancing; playing guitar; and bridge. In high school she was extremely popular & sociable. Her last year was spent at an Episcopal boarding school in Minnesota, post graduate studies mainly in California. Later, she lived with her 2 boys & their father Dr. Don Greer. They lived in Ann Arbor, Michigan; Gainesville, Florida; and San Antonio.

Finally, Anne settled in Dallas with her husband Kelly. She had become an avid golfer; tennis player; as well as continuing as an accomplished bridge player. Anne and Kelly shared their love for and enjoyed travelling the world together.

Over Anne's adult years, she evolved into a renowned chef and author of no less than 8 books. Owned a culinary store in San Antonio where she additionally taught cooking classes. She wrote a food column for the Dallas Morning News over a 10-year period and reviewed numerous restaurants throughout Texas.

Anne is preceded in death by her parents and her sister Christena. She is survived by her husband Kelly F. Mccann; sister Elisabeth Conroy; Anne's sons Donald M. Greer (and wife Karen); William W. Greer (and wife Ellen); Stepsons Kelly Mccann Jr. (Gail); James McCann (Nancy); William McCann (Jennifer); 14 grandchildren and 7 great-grandchildren. Perhaps, above all, Anne was the epitome of a devoted mother & grandmother. She will be sorely missed by her family; her friends; and by all who loved & were blessed to know her.
