Anna May Lawrence

Anna May Lawrence (Fritschler), 84, passed away peacefully in Florida.

Born in Accord, New York, in 1940 to Margaret and Fred Fritschler, Anna graduated from Rondout Valley Central School in Kerhonkson. She spent much of her life in Accord and Woodstock, New York, before retiring to Nokomis and later Lake Worth, Florida.

Anna was the devoted wife of Wayne Gordon Lawrence and a beloved mother to John (Heidi), David (Nancy), Katrina (Dave), Karen (Bill), and Brent. She was cherished by her 12 grandchildren and 9 great-grandchildren. Anna is also survived by her brother Rick and was predeceased by her sisters Lois and Louise.

Anna found joy in baking, cooking, and sewing, pursuits that reflected her nurturing spirit. She also embraced adventure, enjoying camping, motorcycle riding, boating, and scuba diving. In her later years, she discovered a love for painting, which brought her great fulfillment.

Known for her kindness and selflessness, Anna touched the lives of those around her with her thoughtful nature. Her family draws strength from the love she so generously shared and the lasting impact of her compassion.

A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date in New York. In lieu of flowers, donations in Anna’s name may be made to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, a cause close to her heart.

May Anna’s memory bring comfort to all who knew and loved her.
