Anne Marion McCarthy-Coleman

Anne was born in Dublin, Ireland on August 14th, 1952. She lived with her parents Denis and Mamie McCarthy in Bronx, NY. After graduating from High School in Bronx, NY, Anne later went to work on Wall Street at Merrill Lynch. On August 17th, 1979 she married David Coleman in Nanuet, NY. After getting married she continued to work in finance, eventually trading in working for a large financial institution for something more local to spend more time with her family. Anne worked for the East Lyme Board of Education as both an Accounts Payable Clerk and Bookkeeper for 30 years. In her free time, she pursued creative interests such as knitting, quilting, and stained glass. Anne had a passion for learning and took every possible opportunity to expand her knowledge; while her strong sense of empathy and desire to do good inspired her to contribute to multiple charities and organizations. Compassionate and generous of spirit, she will be deeply missed by her family and friends.

Anne is preceded in death by her brother, John Bailham; her mother, Mamie McCarthy, and her father, Denis McCarthy.

Anne is survived by her husband, David Coleman; her son, Ryan Coleman; her daughter, Katie Coleman, and her sisters, Mary Lyons and Frances Norfolk.
