Anne Graves Defeo '59

She was born on Jan 19, 1941, to Albert and Boris (Bemis) Graves.

She is survived by her sister Ronita (Irish), brothers, Peter and Alber, and sister-in-law Gail all
of Fryeburg, Maine. There are many nieces and nephews and cousins as well. She in
fact jokingly claimed to be related to half of Fryeburg.

She graduated from Fryeburg Academy in 1959. From a young age, she was strong in her Christian faith, preaching her beliefs to any and all. Later, becoming an ordained minister, she was a member of several churches. She dreamed of missionary work in China but circumstances kept her closer to home.

An avid reader, writer, and self-taught musician, she was always busy enjoying her time.
She was especially proud of having some of her poems and short stories published.

She loved children and taught many at Sunday schools in the area for many years. Her
collected library was huge. Husband Michael is planning a celebration of her life at a later date.
