Flutist, wife of late conductor
WALLINGFORD — Anabel Brieff, 91, of Ashlar Village, entered into rest on Tuesday, June 19, 2007, at the Masonic Healthcare Center in Wallingford. She was the first flutist, first love and first mate of her beloved late husband of 66 years, Frank Brieff.
Anabel was born Oct. 24, 1915, in Bartlesville, Okla., a daughter of the late Rev. Charles and Bess Millison Hulme. A well-known and sought after flutist in the New York music scene, Anabel had been awarded a scholarship to the University of Southern California where she studied prior to transferring to Juilliard, where she met her husband. She had been a member of the New Haven Symphony Orchestra and the Musicians Union 802. She had studied with Moyse and later taught the flute herself.
Anabel was the Julia Child of the Potting Shed at Edgerton Park in New Haven and enjoyed making jewelry. She enjoyed traveling extensively with her late husband, Frank. She had great joie de vivre and all who knew her joined in the fun. She had many admirers and many more good friends and will be sorely missed.
She is survived by three children, Jo-Anne Brieff, Gerry Lewis and Madeleine Miller and her husband, Scott; four grandchildren, Chris Lewis and his wife, Tracey, Hillary Lewis Winklemann and her husband, Jamie, Kirsten Miller, and Eben Miller and his wife, Karen; and four great-grandchildren.
A memorial service in celebration of her life will be held on Aug. 4, 2007, at the Activities Room of Ashlar Village in Wallingford. There are no calling hours. Interment will be private. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the charity of one's choice.
The B.C. Bailey Funeral Home/Wallingford Cremation Service has been entrusted with arrangements. To leave a message of hope and remembrance or for directions, please visit www.BCBailey.com.
