ANNE PAINE WILLIAMS
Anne Paine Williams, 77, (Anna Welles Paine) died March 14, at home in Duluth.
The daughter of F. Rodney and Anna Paine, Anne Williams represented the fourth generation of the Sargent-Paine family to live in Duluth.
In 1953, she married Barton Williams, also a native of Duluth. He was the son of Marjorie and Curtis Williams, a partner in the Twomey-Williams Lumber Co.
Anne and her husband raised five children in Bloomington, Minn., where Barton was an engineer for Control Data Corp. and Anne was a reporter and feature writer for Sun Newspapers and co-author of the bicentennial book, "Bloomington on the Minnesota." Anne continued her freelance writing and photography after returning to Duluth in 1987, contributing to such publications as Senior Reporter magazine, Lake Superior magazine, and area daily and weekly newspapers.
Anne was a persistent voice for the preservation of Duluth's urban wilderness park system, and helped lead the charge to protect Brighton Beach for generations to come. She was a member of the Fredenberg Lake Association, and spent many happy hours canoeing on that lake, watching otters, loons, eagles, herons and osprey. She was a volunteer for many organizations and associations, including the John Beargrease Marathon, Meals on Wheels and the Duluth Public Library.
Anne loved all creatures great and small: She was a lifelong horsewoman and for 30 years a breeder of Newfoundland dogs. She once successfully administered CPR to a drowning chipmunk, which then became her "friend." She reveled in the wonders of the natural world and was a frequent guest aboard the L.L. Smith Jr. UWS research tug.
She is preceded in death by her husband; parents and grandson, Matthew.
She is survived by brothers, John Paine (Emilie Worthen), Newport, Vt.; Thomas Paine (Teresa Norton), Rancho Santa Fe, Calif.; and sister, Rebecca Field (Cyrus), Newport, Ore. She is survived by sons, Roger Williams (Pamela), Janesville, Wis., Geoffrey Williams (Terrell), Farmington, and Joel Williams, Prior Lake; daughters, Sarah Williams (Jim Heynen), St. Paul, and Susan Williams (Greg Knoblauch), White Bear Lake; 14 grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren.
FAMILY SERVICES: will be held privately. Arrangements are by Dougherty Funeral Home, 600 E. 2nd St., Duluth. The family will gratefully appreciate memorials to the Duluth Public Library acquisition fund.
