- Anne Laura Bassett Ehrhard Obituary
(Includes picture) 1916-2009
Anne was born Millet Ville, South Carolina to Helen Gould Ambrose Bassett and John Wesley Bassett. She lived in Florida and Montana before coming to Seattle in 1942 with her husband. Anne and Adolph (Chick) Ehrhard had three children – David, Carol and Mark.
Anne began her recovery from alcoholism in 1971, quit smoking as well, and became a powerful sponsor to many other recovering alcoholics, profoundly touching them all. When she could no longer walk up the stairs at her favorite meeting, they started a meeting at the Council House where she lived. She was quite happy to have her friends close by at the Saturday 2:00 pm meeting.
Anne was a rabid liberal and loves MSNBC. Often times I would call during the early evening and she would say “Can you call me after Rachel Maddow” and I would smile. We would have many lively discussions about Mr. Bush. Thank God she was able to see Barack Obama become our president, made her exceedingly happy.
Anne was preceded in death by her loving husband, Adolph (Chick), her son David and grandson Jeffery. She is with them now.
