Obituary

Anne A. (Talmage) Edwards, of Plymouth, formerly of Duxbury and Carver, died peacefully at Brookdale-Plymouth Beach on March 6, 2017. She was 91 years old. She was born in Pittsfield, the daughter of the late Harry J. and M. Ida (Hoag) Talmage.

She is survived by her two daughters; Lynn Madore and her husband William Brown of Ft. Myers, FL, and Heidi Sirrico of Carver. She leaves four grandchildren; Wayne, Amy, and Jeffrey Sirrico all of Plymouth, and Richard Madore of Marshfield. She also leaves three great-grandchildren; Michael Sirrico of Essex Junction, VT, Melissa Sirrico of Berwick, ME, and Francis Comeau of Plymouth. Anne was preceded in death by her brother John Talmage, and her twin sister Carol Waldron, as well as her former husband Arthur Edwards.

Anne moved from Pittsfield to Springfield as a young girl. Soon after graduating Classical High magna Cum Laude, she moved to Duxbury with her parents. She lived in Duxbury for 50 years. She was Chief Administrative Asst for the Duxbury Building Department, a job she held for 37 years. She also supported her family by selling Avon, another 30 year job.

In her spare time Anne loved to garden, ride her bike to work and back, and on weekend trips. She also loved to go for walks in the woods or along the cranberry bogs. She also enjoyed baking and everyone in the family looked forward to having her wonderful apple pie.

In 2001 Anne moved to South Meadow Village in Carver. She volunteered to deliver Meals on Wheels for the Carver COA. This was something she very much enjoyed and was able to do until very recently.
