Anne W. Almeida (nee Whyte) age 92 of Pompton Plains died Tuesday, July 29, 2008 at the Llanfair House Nursing Home in Wayne. Her passing was graceful and quiet.
Anne was born in Johnston, Scotland and had lived in Newark later in Wayne for thirty-five years before moving to Pompton Plains twenty-five years ago.
Her life journey began in Johnston, Scotland where she received her early education. Her father determined that the difficulties of finding work and maintaining the family in Scotland was overbearing. He left his family to travel to the United States to see if there were the better conditions that he had heard about there. He was successful in his endeavor to find work and a place to live and traveled back to Scotland to bring his family here. So at the age of sixteen Anne found herself in a new home called Newark, New Jersey. It was because of her father’s courage and determination to seek a better life for his family that she had the chance to live out her life in the “American Dream.”
Before her retirement she was employed as a accountant in the retail industry.
In the township of Pompton plains she was active as a member of Friends of The Library.
Anne had many wonderful attributes she was Intelligent, sharp, and full of energy. She always said that she was "full of pep, vim and vinegar'. She loved to travel and always talked about shopping at the Cosbah in Morocco. She was never afraid to go somewhere new. She traveled into her late 80's until it was too difficult with several trips to Dallas, Texas.
She leaves her family with many memories of a very loving wife, mother and grandmother. When her children were young she was an active volunteer with her daughters in their participation as Brownies and Girl Scouts. As a mother she was always concerned and always offering a guiding hand to her daughters concerning their lives and education.
Anne especially enjoyed bird watching and gardening. She maintained a greenhouse on her property and just loved to propagate flowers including special varieties of iris with some plants nurtured as long as twenty-five years
Domingos and Anne had forty-one years of “loving and devoted” marriage together until Domingos' passing in 1984.
Surviving are two daughters Linda Almeida of North Arlington and Judith Heuze’ and her husband Daniel of Arlington, Texas; one sister Janet Summers and her husband Edwin of New Providence, NJ and one grandson Jason Fallick of St. Louis, MO; a nephew Bill Summers and his wife Martha; two great nieces Lauren and Megan Summers.
