Anne Morgan

Anne S. Morgan, 82, of Mashpee, passed away peacefully at home on May 10. She was the beloved wife of Francis (Frank) Morgan and the daughter of the late Louis and Alice Hennessy Slattery.

Anne graduated from Somerset High School and received her bachelor’s degree in education from University of Massachusetts, where she and Frank met. As a young family, Anne and Frank moved several times, meeting dear friends in each community, including Lincoln, Rhode Island; Guilford, Connecticut; Guilderland, New York; and eventually Hopkinton, where they lived for 33 years. In recent years, Anne and Frank resided in Mashpee and Estero, Florida.

Anne had many interests throughout her life. A lifelong sports fan, she cheered for the Patriots and the Celtics, and she faithfully rooted for her cherished Red Sox, which was an enthusiasm passed down from her father. In the 1970s, Anne and Frank jumped on the tennis bandwagon and enjoyed playing with a large circle of friends. Eventually, their passion for tennis shifted to golf, which they enjoyed playing together. For many years, Anne played golf in the women’s league at Saddle Hill Country Club in Hopkinton and at Spring Run in Florida. Additionally, Anne and Frank enjoyed traveling and had some great times with family and friends in Mexico (Cabo San Lucas), Italy, Scotland, Ireland, California and Arizona (Scottsdale, Sedona and the Grand Canyon). She also enjoyed crossword puzzles and was an avid reader. But most of all, Anne enjoyed spending time with those she loved. Whether the gathering was a holiday, a vacation or simply dinner on the deck, Anne was happiest when surrounded by family and friends. She was a loving wife and mother, and she will be dearly missed by all who loved her.

In addition to her loving husband, Frank, Anne is survived by two daughters, Elizabeth O’Neill and husband Brendan of Natick and Falmouth, and Jennifer Morgan of Charlestown. Additionally, she is survived by nieces Pamela Megan (Paul) and Margaret Collins (Scott), and five great-nieces/nephews, Kevin Kennedy, Emily Megan, John Collins, Katie Dwyer and Sarah Collins. She was predeceased by nephew Michael Benso.

A private committal service will be held at Oak Grove Cemetery in Falmouth.
