Obituary of Anna Terhune
Anna "Nancy" E. Heim Terhune, 93, of Manchester, passed peacefully into
the arms of her Lord on Friday, November 22, 2013. Anna was the beloved
wife of the late Francis "Terry" X. Terhune. Anna was born in Hartford,
CT on March 16, 1920 and grew up in Wethersfield. In 1934 Anna was in
the first graduating class of St. Augustine School, Hartford. She
graduated in 1938 from Wethersfield High School. Anna married Francis
Terhune on 06/11/1946; he predeceased her on 10/15/1989. They resided in
Manchester, and Anna devoted her life to her two girls, Pat and Mary.
Anna loved to fill the station wagon with her daughters and neighborhood
kids to head to their softball games, the beach, or Andover Lake where
Anna had spent many summers at her family cottage. She was a member of
the Assumption Church Ladies Guild. Anna worked at the lockbox
department of Connecticut Bank & Trust. Her quick smile and sweet
disposition made her deep, lasting friendships wherever she was. In 1999
she moved to an apartment at Orford Village Commons and shared years of
love and laughter with that community and many special friends. She was
predeceased by her brother Joseph Heim of Westbrook and her sister
Madeline Plante and brother-in-law Gerald Plante of Windsor. She is
survived by her daughters, Patricia Terhune of Manchester and Mary
Terhune of Bolton and her husband Christopher Foley, her sister-in-law
