Anne Suber Wilson

Anne Suber Wilson (March 14, 1947–November 23, 2021) will be remembered as being kind, generous, and creative, and a loving mother. She was devoted to and is survived by her son James Wilson, daughter Marianne Wilson, son-in-law Chris Blose, and beloved cat Sahara.

Anne was born in Washington, D.C. and lived since 1985 in Maryville, TN. She attended Sweet Briar College in Sweet Briar, VA, and graduated from American University, in Washington D.C. While raising her children, the family lived in Saudi Arabia and Kenya, and traveled throughout the world. She inspired in her children independence and curiosity, and a desire to experience the world.

Much like her mother, Anne loved animals, from her own cats to the well-fed birds and squirrels in her backyard. As an active volunteer, she worked with Good Neighbors of Blount County, Blount County Literacy Council, Adult Basic Education, and Appalachian Bear Rescue, among others. She was dedicated to education and helping others and spent her teaching career in Maryville, TN, at Wesley Day School and Fort Craig Elementary School. As an avid knitter and creative crafter and seamstress, she organized an annual holiday marketplace craft sale and created dance costumes for the professional and student belly dance troupes of Sahara Dance in Washington, D.C.

She loved and was loved, and will be deeply missed by all who knew her. Memorial donations may be directed to Good Neighbors of Blount County or Welcome Table at New Providence Presbyterian Church. A drop-in celebration of Anne’s life will be held from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Dec. 3 at Savannah Park Clubhouse, 287 Savannah Park Dr., Maryville, TN, 37803.
