Anne was a lifelong philanthropist and volunteer. Previously she worked at Sears Roebuck and Co. in Chicago. She is a former nominating chair of the Madison Art Center’s Art League and former director of the Madison Children’s Museum. She has made philanthropic contributions to the Art Institute of Chicago, the Boys and Girls Club of Dane County, Mayo Clinic Foundation, Northwestern University, and the Wisconsin Historical Society.
