On Thursday, Sept. 24, 2020, Anne Marie Kimball, passed away with great peace and strength, at age 92.
Anne was born in Little Falls, NY in 1928 to Thomas and Francis Burns. Anne attended St. Mary’s Academy in Little Falls and SUNY Cortland, where she received her Physical Education and Master’s degree, and was proudly active with her class of 1949 until her passing. Anne had an amazing career, spanning over 40 years, teaching, educating and coaching thousands of students during her time. From her teaching roots at SUNY Plattsburgh in the 1960s, to her well accomplished career at Hudson Valley Community College in Troy. She received too many accolades to mention, for her teaching and coaching successes.
Anne was extremely proud of her Irish roots and traveled to Ireland and other countries after retirement. She loved to drive cross country in her big RV, visiting her family and many lifelong friends. She loved music and dance, and always looked forward to teaching her dance classes at HVCC. Often up late at night, perusing through albums and practicing her moves. A lifelong swimmer, Anne taught swimming classes for many years and even coached the synchronized swimming team at SUNY Plattsburgh. Anne enjoyed bridge for many years and had a lot of fun with her groups of friends. Everyone will miss her generosity and caring spirit.
Anne was predeceased by her granddaughter, Mary Teresa Kimball, and her siblings Tom Burns, Frank Burns, Ellen Mary Burns and Kate McCormick. Anne is survived by her five children, Andy Kimball, Fort Collins, Colorado; Kathleen Kimball, Loveland Colorado; Mary Coupe (Thomas), Fort Collins Colorado; John Kimball (Mary) of North Myrtle Beach, SC; James Kimball (Kathy) Fort Collins Colorado.
