Anne D Donnelly Egan

Freeport - Anne Egan passed away Sunday afternoon April 28, 2013 after a brief but feisty fight with cancer. She lived in New York much of her life and started a career in Manhattan in the Chrysler Building working for Texas Oil Co. She spoke fondly of that experience her entire life.

She married Edward F. Egan of the Bronx in 1952 in New York City. She and her family moved to Florida in the late 70's where she resided until 2004, then moved to Maine to be closer to family. She adored her 8 grandchildren and 4 great grandchildren. Sharing time with her family was her brightest time and she relished visits from many of them traveling to Maine to see "Nanni".

A devout Catholic her entire life, Anne asked for and was generous with, prayers on all occasions. She vigilantly practiced her faith her whole life. Her Irish wit and Depression-era upbringing matched well with an extroverted personality. Anne loved to entertain guests at home. She lived independently until she was 86 and was fierce about taking care of herself.

She is survived by three sons, Edward Egan, Jr. of Port Orange FL, Tim Egan of Dover, DE and John Egan of Freeport. She was preceded in death by her sister Helen in 2009, her husband of 51 years, Eddie, in 2003 and her brothers William in 1984 and Frank in 1943.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Friday May 3 at 11:00 AM at St. Jude Catholic Church in Freeport. Burial will be in Florida on Saturday May 11. Please visit www.lindquistfuneralhome.com to share condolences, memories and tributes with Anne’s family.
