Anne S. Custer of Shannondell in Audubon, PA passed away on December 25th at the age of 88. Beloved wife of Russell A. Custer, they shared 69 years of marriage together, and one year as high school sweethearts. Anne was born at home in Phoenixville, PA on February 9, 1925. She graduated from Phoenixville High School in 1942. A member of Church of the Savior in Wayne, Anne’s faith in Jesus was a significant part of her life.

She is also survived by Russ’s daughter Monica and Rick’s stepsons Charles and Sean, as well as a number of nieces and nephews.
After high school, Anne worked for several companies until her children came along and from then on, she loved every minute of being a homemaker at the longtime family home in Oaks. Her family and extended family were the joys of her life, and they all experienced her unconditional love. Anne always put the needs of others before her own, and was eager to help anyone in need. With a warm personality and friendly smile, Anne had a wide circle of friends. Her death will leave a tremendous void in the lives of those who knew and loved her.
