Anne Warren Montgomery's Obituary
Anne Warren Montgomery, devoted wife of Levere C. “Monty” Montgomery Jr. for over 68 years, passed into the arms of our loving Lord on April 7, 2020 at their home in Covington, Louisiana. Born September 3, 1930 to Agnes Stanley and Francis Junius Warren in Jacksonville, Florida, Anne was the 8th of 14 children. After graduating from St. Paul’s Catholic High School in Jacksonville, Florida, Anne completed her degree in nursing at the Charity Hospital School of Nursing in New Orleans. In 1949, Anne met the love of her life, Monty, at a nursing school dance. They were married on September 8,1951. Anne and Monty were blessed with six children: Leanne Montgomery Boland (Jimmy) of Washington, DC, Levere C. Montgomery III (Mimi) of Covington, Louisiana, Warren Montgomery, (Val) of Mandeville, Louisiana, Magee Montgomery Land (Casey) of Indianapolis, Indiana, Karen Montgomery of Easton, Maryland, and Beth Montgomery Johnson, (Nash) of Clinton, North Carolina. Anne was later blessed with twenty-six grandchildren and twenty-seven great-grandchildren, who will forever treasure the memory of their “Grandmom”. Anne was preceded in death by her loving parents and all but one of her siblings, Denis Warren of Jacksonville, Florida. The Montgomery children were raised by their exceptionally loving parents in Metairie, Louisiana. Later, Anne and Monty moved to the Northshore, living first in Folsom and then in Covington. Anne always made an effort to stay connected with her extended family, traveling to Florida for reunions. Eventually, Anne and Monty hosted these family reunions at their home in Folsom. Anne was a gentle, yet very strong lady with many interests. She served as a Girl Scout leader in New Orleans. Anne and Monty taught confirmation classes at St. John the Baptist Catholic Church in Folsom for over 10 years. They received the Order of St. Louis IX Medallion from Archbishop Francis B. Schulte for their service to the Archdioceses of New Orleans. Anne also enjoyed gardening, sewing, tennis, reading, cooking, oil painting, sculpture and traveling. The Montgomery family is indebted to many loving caregivers for their assistance, most especially Arnetta Simmons and Louise Dillon. With gratitude and love, we thank the whole team for their faithful and attentive support. As a nurse, wife, mother and friend, Anne set an inspiring example. Benefiting from Anne’s positive attitude and nurturing support, the Montgomery children try to pass on “Grandmom’s” legacy of a life lived with God, through God, and for God. Our matriarch will always walk beside us and live in our hearts. Due to the current Coronavirus restrictions, the family had a private gravesite burial at St. Joseph’s Abbey. A funeral Mass and celebration of Anne’s life will be shared at a future date.
