Obituary:
Anne Gannon, 64, a lifelong resident of Saco, passed away after a courageous battle with cancer on January 13, 2018. Anne was born on May 2, 1953, in Biddeford, and was the daughter of the late A. Raymond Gannon and Helena Gannon, also of Saco.
Anne graduated from Thornton Academy, Class of 1971 and Husson College. Upon graduation, Anne worked in the banking industry for Casco, Bank of Boston, and Fleet Bank. Since 2001, Anne worked with Dr. (Doc) Kip Temm at York County Veterinary in Arundel until 2017.
Anne enjoyed genealogy and studied her family back to the 1860’s. Anne has been showing Samoyeds for over 30 years, including seven AKC Champions. She belonged to the Minuteman Samoyed Club and York County Kennel Club. Anne loved and adored her own Samoyeds, while also spreading the joy of owning a Samoyed to others. She was actively involved in rescuing Samoyeds and responsible for finding loving homes for many dogs over the years.
Anne valued her friendships and shared wonderful memories with everyone she met through these organizations and enjoyed welcoming them into her home. Anne was a loyal and generous friend to anyone who was fortunate enough to know her. In addition to her extensive circle of friends, Anne loved her family. Each year she looked forward to the visits in the summer with her extended family. Anne was a dedicated daughter, sister, aunt, great-aunt, cousin, niece, and friend who greeted each day with a twinkle in her blue eyes and a smile on her face. Her contagious enthusiasm and eternal optimism will be greatly missed.
Anne was the daughter of late A. Raymond “Ray” Gannon. She leaves behind her mother Helena Gannon and stepmother Rita Gannon also of Saco, a sister, Kathy Eon and her husband Bill Eon of Saco, and a brother, David Gannon and his wife Julie Gannon of Corte Madera, CA. Anne also leaves nephew and niece, Alex Gannon and Jackie Gannon of San Francisco, CA, niece, Marysa Santos and her husband Anthony Santos of Longmeadow, MA and their two children, niece, Hannah Eon of Fairfax, CA, and niece, Kerry Townsend and her husband, Jake Townsend of Limington, ME.

We were deeply saddened to hear of Anne's passing. We express our deepest condolences and sympathies to Anne's family and friends. Her love and devotion to not only her own dogs, but every Samoyed needing to be rescued and helped, made her a true "Champion"! Her love for the breed was absolutely evident in all that she did. She will be deeply, deeply missed. Rest in peace, Anne. Sincerely, Frank and Karen Gazarian

So sorry to hear of Anne's passing. I too knew Anne in high school and she was a good friend. We lost touch over the years but I never forgot Anne. I enjoyed seeing her post on Facebook about her beautiful dogs but was sad to hear about her cancer. Anne was an intelligent and caring person and will be missed.
