"Annie" Lee Converse
April 26, 2003
"Annie" Lee Converse was born on November 11, 1922 to Howard B. and Helen K. Converse of Duxbury, Massachusetts. Her only sibling, Penelope "Penny", was born two years later on November 24, 1924.
The two sisters grew up in their beloved house on Friendship Lane in Duxbury where they spent endless hours on the beach. They enjoyed sailing on Duxbury Bay.
Both girls were freespirited and unconventional in their wit and passion for adventure. Annie's heart was always on her sleeve and her honesty made her an unwitting favorite wherever her wild heart took her. Annie suffered much heartache especially after Penny died in the spring of 1974.
She finally felt peaceful enough to let go of life on April 26, 2003, and allowed God to take her home. In God's loving arms, she will finally experience the true love she missed so dearly in her earthly life.
A celebration of life and an opportunity to share stories will be held on Monday, May 4, 2003, at 10:30 A.M. at the Cape Heritage Nursing Home in Sandwich, Massachusetts.
