I was so sorry to hear of Anne's passing. She was such a genuine person, with such love to share. I knew her as a volunteer with Tulsa Ballet, and was always impressed by her committment, her service, and especially, her joy. She was loved and will be greatly missed.

Mr. Mobley, Virginia and family. Please accept my deepest sympathy for your loss. The Jarvis' lived just a block from us and childhood memories run deep. She was a close and gracious friend all the way through school to graduation. Anne was our Class photo archivist. During reunions she would bring and give away many prized past photgraphs to classmates. I'll miss her just knowing she's not here.
