Anne Abrams Obituary

Anne Marcelle Abrams

March 18, 1966 - March 14, 2025

Anne passed away of complications from cancer on the morning of March 14 with her family around her. She is survived and greatly loved by her parents Joan H and Creighton W Abrams III and by her siblings Julia, Creighton, Thomas, Mary and Sarah.

Anne was a proud army brat, born on an army base at Ft. Sill, OK. With her army family, she lived her childhood on or near 9 army bases in 6 states and overseas in Germany. After many moves and schools and experiences Anne settled in Greensboro NC, which she made her home for all of her adult life, along with more than a few of her siblings.

Anne began her 30 year career at Kinkos at the original store on Tate St in Greensboro in 1986, where she went on to specialize in management of large, complicated, urgent printing jobs, every day professionalism, and kindness with customers wrestling with the latest tech and occasionally expectations.

Anne loved being part of both a large family and the Greensboro community she interacted with professionally and at leisure. She was a foodie, loved gathering to chat and debate endlessly about any and everything that crossed her intellectual path. A voracious reader from her early years, Anne had short stories of her own published in anthologies. She retained an enormous amount of what she had read, which came in handy in debates.

Anne never met a single individual on Tate St. or in her travels with family and friends whom she didn't at least try to know better. She had a naturally generous spirit, a wicked sense of humor, a curious mind, and more than a dozen pictures of her nieces with her in her wallet everywhere she went.

After Anne's parents finally caught up to the rest of us and retired to our "home base" of Greensboro several years ago. She moved back in with them (after 35 short years) to be resident chef, all around companion, and family party planner.

We will all miss her singularity of being, none more so than her parents who loved her as their child and as a real friend in her last years, and she loved them right back.
