Anne was born in Hungary, and immigrated to Canada at the age of 12. She lived in East Coulee where her father was a miner. They had boarders in their home, and that is how she met her husband Frank, whom she was married to for 63 years. They were blest with their first son, Franklin, in 1942, and on October 14, 1953, their second son Michael, who died in infancy. Anne (better known as Nagymama) was a wonderful mother, grandmother and great grandmother. She loved to spend time in her kitchen making her famous mini cabbage rolls (baby finger size), bread, doughnuts and many other Hungarian traditional foods. Her family was her special focus, especially her grandchildren, with whom she always shared her ice cream treats with.

Mom's great-grandchildren Conner (Vici) Peta of Edmonton, Luke Peta of Lethbridge, Ashlyn Peta of Lethbridge, Ava Nakonechny of Calgary, Ayden and Ella Dorigatti of Red Deer, Jasmin (Bryce) Chernecki of Calgary, and Jared Gaerhing of Coaldale. and great great-grandchildren Elise and Evony from Calgary.
Anne was predeceased by her loving husband Frank (2004), her parents, Anna and Charles Szakacs, along with her brother Istvan (Steve) Szakacs.
