Anne was born in Washington, NC, to the late Wyatte Adam Currie and Dora Moore Currie. She later moved to Norfolk, Virginia, at the age of 12, where she graduated from Maury High School in 1947. Following her high school education, Anne attended Virginia Intermont College in Bristol, Virginia.

After her retirement, she joined the sales team at J Romm clothing boutique.
As a person who truly loved her family, Anne created a warm and inviting atmosphere during summer weekends spent with loved ones enjoying the beach, whether on the bay or oceanfront. Additionally, she cherished her annual family trips to Hatteras Island, where she would cook breakfast, spend days on the beach, and find time for evening reflections on life. Anne was also a dedicated member of Coleman Place Presbyterian Church in Norfolk, where she was actively involved for more than 50 years.
Throughout her life, Anne dedicated herself to serving others and found profound joy in giving back, particularly to friends and family in need. She leaves behind her children: Bruce Jackson, Greg Kiskinis (spouse: Mary Lou), and Garry Kiskinis (partner: Gary Riffe). Additionally, she is survived by her grandchildren: Meredith Davis (spouse: Jonathan), Tye Kiskinis (spouse: Becca), and Katie Erlwein (spouse: Mike), along with several great-grandchildren: Callahan, Claudia, Lilly, Owen, Kane, and Andi.
The family expresses their deepest gratitude to the staff at Lake Taylor Transitional Hospital for their attentive care and support over the past eight years, which made a significant difference in Anne’s quality of life.
