It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our mother, Anna Marie Hickey. She passed away unexpectedly at St. Vincents hospital in Bridgeport, CT at the age of 84.

She was born in New Rochelle NY, the middle child of three sisters. After high school, she entered into the New Rochelle School of Nursing. In 1957 she married her husband, John Hickey, and shortly afterwards they settled in Rye, NY. They were married 55 years until our father passed in 2012.

They enjoyed many trips together with family over the years to New Jersey, New York, Block Island, RI and Illinois. Trips also included Europe and the Carribean.

She engaged in private nursing duties for many years after raising her four children. She was affectionally known as "Annie" to most of her work colleagues. She loved to read and had a soft spot in her heart for animals and their well being.

The latter part of her life was spent in Stratford, CT, where she lived in Oronoque Village. Unfortunately, two years ago a neck injury along with the onset of Parkinson's Disease prevented her from doing some things that she loved, but she persevered with family members helping her with whatever she needed.

She is survived by her four children, Stephen, JoAnna, David and Laura. Daughter-in Laws Irma and Kelley. Son-in Law Marc. Grandchildren Jessica, Samantha, Kevin, Robert John, Madeleine, and Charles. Sister Myra Sampson.

A family members only wake will be held at the Bouton Funeral Home in Georgetown on December 1 ^st, followed by a private mass.
