Anne was born July 24, 1937, in New York, NY, to Michael and Brigid Needham, both immigrants from Ireland.

Anne is survived by her brothers James and John Needham and her sisters Jane McIreavy and Maura Needham. Anne was preceded in death by her brother, Michael Needham, and two brothers-in-law, Thomas Sweeney and David McIreavy.

She moved to New Jersey and served as the school nurse in the Cedar Grove School System and at Our Lady of the Lake School in Verona.
In her retirement, she moved to Bucks County where her greatest delight was caring for her granddaughters. Whether she was shuttling them to and from school, ice skating practice or the lacrosse field, she was immensely proud of their accomplishments.
