Anne Christine Powers passed away quietly in the early morning hours of December 23, 2021 at her home in Pacific Grove, CA after a brief illness. Anne was the daughter of the late Joseph and Evelyn Marcilliat of Tell City, IN and is survived by her devoted husband of 54 years, John Powers. Anne was a loving mother of two sons, Matthew (wife Grace) Powers of Woodland Hills, CA and Daniel (wife Aubrey) Powers of Pacific Grove, CA and a proud, loving grandmother of five grandchildren, Montgomery, Brady, Aidan, Declan and Connor Powers. She leaves behind her sisters, Phyllis (Vincent) Welage and Eileen Colwell, brothers, Gene Marcilliat and Ted Marcilliat, and many friends.
Anne grew up in Tell City, IN and graduated from Indiana University with a bachelor's degree in Nursing. She moved west to California in the mid-1960’s to pursue her nursing career. She worked as a registered nurse at Stanford Hospital and Cottage Hospital of Santa Barbara, a public health nurse for the counties of Santa Barbara and Monterey, and as an office nurse for three medical groups in Monterey, CA. She was also a classroom aide at Pacific Grove High School.
Anne met her husband-to-be John Powers in Menlo Park, CA, and they were married in Santa Barbara. They moved to Carmel, CA and later lived on Candy Cane Lane in Pacific Grove for 48 years, with a special year spent living in Paris, France. After many years of nursing, she focused on her family and her grandchildren, attending as many Pacific Grove Breakers basketball and youth soccer and basketball games as she could. Her favorite activities included singing, swimming, reading, watching basketball at all levels, and walking her golden retriever, Abby.
Anne will be deeply missed by everyone who knew and loved her. Funeral services will be held at St. Angela Merici Catholic Church in Pacific Grove, January 6 at 11AM followed by burial at El Carmelo Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to the donor’s favorite charity.
