She was a servant of the Lord. As stated in 2 Corinthians 9 vs. 10-11, “Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your seed for sowing and increase the harvest of your righteousness. 11 You will be enriched in every way to be generous in every way, which through us will produce thanksgiving to God”. She devoted her life by serving her Lord, raising her kids through good and harsh days, generously helping others, and giving advice to those who sought guidance. AnneMarie loved cooking, spending time with family and friends, which prolong her life with laughter, joy, and happiness.

In 1990, she migrated to the US to be by her children with a devoted mission to be available to be the caretaker of all her grandchildren. She was full of energy and enthusiasm and you could not take that away from her. In 2001, she became a member of Boston Missionary Baptist Church and accepted Jesus- Christ as her personal savior followed by her baptism on November 17, 2002. She continued her devotion with the Lord until her last breath.
