Anne was born October 21, 1951 in Concord to the late Eugene S. Towery, Jr. and Mary Dell Long Towery. She was also preceded in death by her brother, Bill Towery and sister, Caroline Elizabeth Towery.
Anne was a member of the Concord High School Class of 1970 and loved Spiders athletics. In her earlier career, Anne worked in the accounting department of J. B. Ivey, Inc. (Ivey’s). She was part of the Charlotte Opera for several years and sang in The Singing Christmas Tree in Charlotte.
Anne later fulfilled her passion for helping others when she became an emergency medical technician. She worked for Rowan County EMS as a paramedic for over 10 years. She also worked with Medic on the special events team at Time Warner Cable arena. For many years, Anne was also a member of Cabarrus Rescue Squad where she volunteered much of her time. Anne also spent several years as the Athletic Trainer at Concord High School.
In November of 1999, in the midst of her busy life, she began her favorite job of all, being a grandmother. She adored her grandchildren, Peyton and Brice and spent as much time as possible with them. She attended all of their school and sporting events, from cheerleading competitions to football games, until she was no longer able.
