In Loving Memory of Annie

Annie brightened every room she entered. Her laughter, kindness, and warmth touched everyone she met — from her family and friends to her co-workers who became like family over the years.

We lost Annie far too soon, and though our hearts are broken, we want to honor the love and joy she brought to so many lives. This fund was created at the request of her friends and colleagues as a way to come together and support her memory.

All contributions will go toward funeral and memorial expenses, and any remaining funds will be donated in Annie’s name to the Smithsonian’s National Zoo and Conservation Biology Institute, a place she loved deeply and that reflected her lifelong affection for pandas.

Your kindness, love, and support mean more than words can say. Thank you for helping us celebrate Annie’s beautiful life and the light she shared with everyone around her.
