Anne Harter Appleby of Wildwood, MO passed away unexpectedly on June 30, 2023 at the age of 69.
Anne lived a life in pursuit of great stories. Writing them for her news audiences, joyfully swapping tales with lifelong friends, but most of all, creating her own great stories through a life filled with adventure.
In her 35 years in the newspaper industry, she covered everything from the Kentucky Derby to business briefs, local features, and much more. Her expertise as a writer and editor improved every department she found herself in. After several years with the Detroit Free Press, Anne returned to her hometown of St. Louis, where she took a position in the sports department at the St. Louis Post-Dispatch on the recommendation of Mitch Albom and Bernie Miklasz.
However, Anne was best with the stories she created herself, with her limitless sense of adventure, her passion for exploring the world, and her love for bringing family and friends together for the grand events she frequently planned. Her travels with lifelong friends and her husband Darrell took her to six continents, dozens of countries, and 47 U.S. states. Life is for seizing new opportunities, experiences, and creating unforgettable moments, and in this regard, none lived it better than Anne.
Beloved wife of Darrell Appleby; loving mother to Sandy Tobik, Nancy (Daniel) Workman and Dan (Paige) Tobik; cherished sister of Art and Brian Harter; dearly beloved daughter of June and the late Art Harter; and dearest step-mother to Brooke Pagan and Lance Appleby.
