SEDONA, Ariz. — Anne C.P. Imrie, formerly of Vicksburg and Madison, New Orleans and Fort Wayne, Ind., passed away peacefully on Nov. 4, 2012, in Sedona at the age of 100.

She was born to Edith and T. Dorsey Pitts in Baltimore. She graduated from Bryn Mawr School in Baltimore and was a Phi Beta Kappa graduate from Smith College in 1933. Anne worked as a bacteriologist until she married Donald T. Imrie in 1940. She raised six productive children and donated many hundreds of hours to her churches, children’s schools and her communities over the years. Anne was a tireless crusader for the underdog, and a lifetime learner; she made new friends wherever she went, and spread her joy for life with whomever she met in all her travels. She was a breast cancer survivor.

Anne was preceded in death by her husband, Don; and daughter, Jane I. Bess.

She is survived by sons, Stephen (Susanna) of Los Gatos, Calif., Paul of Fayetteville, Ark. and George (Lucy) of Arkansas; daughters, Carolyn Fisher of Sedona and Anne Moll (Roger) of Freeland, Mich.; nine grandchildren; 13 great-grandchildren; and former son-in-law, Lloyd Bess (Elizabeth) of Batesville, Ark.

A musical memorial service will be at 1:30 p.m., Nov. 30, 2012, at Sedona Winds Assisted Living. Her family also will celebrate her life in Arkansas and Rhode Island in 2013.

Donations may be made to breast cancer, the Desert Southwest Region of Alzheimer’s Association, the music for your church, Bryn Mawr School in Baltimore, Smith College or the charity of your choice.
