After I went away to college I lost track of her; she went to Murray State College in Kentucky, but only stayed for a year, I think, and then got married and also started smoking. Her aunt told me her husband abused her; I don't know for sure. The last time I spoke to her on the phone she sounded sad. She finally divorced him. I heard a few years later she had died. I think it was lung cancer, but I could be wrong.
When I spoke to her she told me both her parents had died. I don't remember how her mom died, but I know Anna Marie found her dad under his tractor after it had rolled over on him in a field he had been plowing. How awful.
According to her obituary, she had been a career caregiver, helping people with disabilities become independent in caring for themselves. It doesn't surprise me; she was a very caring person.
I wish I could have done something to help her, but there was nothing I knew how to do. Rest in peace, Anna Marie. I'm glad I finally found you again.
