I was at work when I received the sad news, and although I never kept in touch with Anne after high school, I couldn’t help but tell my coworkers about the light that the world lost. I would always think of her fondly when I was in Tyngsboro driving by what used to be the family farm even though I’d long since forgotten the names of many of my other classmates.
I only knew her for less than a year, transferring to THS as a senior, and Anne was one of several who immediately took this shy insecure teenager under their wing, and saw to it that this stranger never sat alone at lunch even on that first day. Although she always held court at the same lunch table, you immediately knew where Anne was in the room by the almost continuous side splitting laughter coming from those around her. Sometimes risque, or with a slight teenage rebelliousness, but never mean spirited or obnoxious.
I remember when I heard years ago when she had taken steps to become fit, that I was so happy for her and glad for her health. I wish I had kept in touch and told her myself. In thinking about it now, she may have been one of the influences that helped me to start to come out of my shell way back then and be more outgoing, following her example.
I hope it is some comfort to her family and close friends to know that there are many people whose lives she made a difference in, who they never even met. What a better place the world would be if everyone had an Anne Aldrich cross their path in their life.

Thank you so much Patrick for these kind words! My sister Annie absolutely loved everyone and made sure anyone she came in contact with left with a smile and a laugh or two. Your memory of her has brought a smile to all of us.

I am so sorry for all Annie’s children, losing their Mom. Again, very sorry for your loss, she was too young. Rest in peace Annie
