After suffering a major
brain bleed on 9 June, and several subsequent stroke
events, Anne passed quietly the morning of 25 December
2022. For 207 days she fought to regain function. Per her
direction, a direct cremation is going to happen.
Internment along side her parents here in Frederick will
be at a to be determined date and time. For over 49 years
she has been the center of my life, loving wife and mother
of our two children, and doting grandmother for each of
our children’s sons. I could go on for thousands of pages
about our adventures, discoveries, joys, and sometimes
sorrows. We were there for each other on this journey
called life. See you on the other side my beloved. (Marc
Meilleur)
After just over 6 months
of fighting a epic battle, mom was called home. Mom fought
hard to get out of the hospital and rehab after each of
her strokes. But her coming back to the house she spent 30
years in, was not in the cards. She passed away before 12
noon today, 12/25/2022, while in hospice. I'm almost 12
hours late in posting this, but I needed to get my mind
right before saying anything openly on FB. (Eric Meilleur)
To everyone who’s reached
out, Thank you.
While it’s been hard to respond, please know your messages aren’t unseen and unheard, with time I hope to respond to all of you. ♥️

We jokingly called my mom a ‘socialite’. Between all of her activities, groups, committees, and clubs - she had a better social life than I could ever imagine.
She will be incredibly missed and the next few weeks will be hard as my father (Marc Meilleur) and I reshape our daily lives where she isn’t physically included. I’ll miss visiting her every-single-day with my morning cup of coffee while we watch Food Network or the Hallmark Channel, or while I telework quietly from her bedside.
I was incredibly blessed to spend as much time as I did with her the last 6 months, and even more blessed to have a supportive company/boss/colleagues that insisted and encouraged me to spent time daily with her no matter my workload.
To my husband (David Bellucci), my BFF’s, and even my therapist, thank you for being with me while I navigated my mom’s journey - letting me laugh, cry, joke, and even cuss ♥️
PS- I still need y’all, so don’t go anywhere. 🥰
I can attest my mom lived an amazing and remarkable life, and I know she’ll be missed by many. Her celebration will be held in late January, please reach out to family in the next week for final details.
