Anne M. Brace

Anne Brace was a beacon of love. Anne met the love of her life, Brian, while she was a freshman at Dearborn High School. They married on a beautiful August day in 1992 and their true love was an inspiration to all. Their love strengthened even more as their family grew. Anne’s beacon of love continues to shine through her amazing children Drew, Megan and David, of whom she was so very proud. She also had a comfort puppy, Lucy, that gave her snuggles throughout the last year and half. Anne cultivated a community of love through her friends and family. She was adored by her mother-in-law, Marie Brace. She had a very special relationship with her two sisters and brothers-in-law, Pat and Greg Klask and Kathy and Dave Hodges. Her in-laws were near and dear to her heart – Frank Brace, Rick and Anne Marie Brace, Kim and Jon Kondo, Michael and Amy Brace. She was so proud of her nieces and nephews and made each one feel special and cared-for… Stephanie, Kim, Michael, Danielle, Caitlin, Morgan, Julian, Mariko, Cameron, Carson, Ethan, Amanda, Quinn, Chase and Sally. Anne’s friends were also tremendously special to her; she made every friend feel like a best friend. If you met Anne once, you had a friend for life. Anne’s light came into the world on October 7, 1968. On November 10, 2019 she joined her parents Kathy & Paul Williams, her brother Scott Williams and her father-in-law Frank Brace in heaven. Anne was passionate about her work with children in education and taught so many to believe in themselves and reach goals that seemed unattainable. She loved volunteering at school and serving as manager and board member for hockey and lacrosse. She cherished her times with her friends and was always up for an adventure. Her belief in Hope and Healing never faltered, her courage never wavered and she was always hopeful for a positive outcome. To know Anne is to know love.
