Trident College the most.  Anne was devoted to her Lord and her family.  She spent many days in Bible studies

both as a student and teacher, her favorite was the study with the neighborhood girls that helped them grow into

Christian women.  Anne loved to read and many times read through the Bible in a one year program. She lived a

Christ-centered life, and all who knew her found her to be a gracious, selfless person, always willing to help anyone

in need. During her years at St. Philips, Anne led many Lay church activities and loved being involved with her family

in the many events.  Anne was a loving wife, mother, sister, grandmother, aunt, and friend. She will be missed by

her children, Angela Lesesne Clark (Joey),  and Jessica Lesesne Martin (Jeff), and 5 grandchildren, Larsen Clark

Spinelli (Zack), Rachael Anne Martin, Kristin Lucille Clark, Corey Andrew Martin and Sarah Elizabeth Clark.  She is

also survived by her sisters, Mary Moody (Gardner), Elizabeth (Betsy) Johnson, and Patricia Perry (Rick), who will

miss her daily phone chats and Bible studies.  Anne also loved her many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.  In

lieu of flowers donations may be made to Arthritis National Research Foundation or St Philips Church, Charleston, SC.  

The family would like to thank the nurses and staff with Beacon Hospice, especially Portia Bradford.
