Anne-Marie was a grand lady — smart as a whip, kind to all and funny at the most unexpected moments! I will miss our lunches…. Here at Shenandoah University, we are all deeply grateful for the generosity of Anne-Marie and Bernie and their commitment to educating pharmacists for the future. At SU, Anne-Marie was adored for the warmth she showed to everyone and her concern for students, particularly those dealing with challenges life circumstances. She will be greatly missed!
