of Germantown, TN

November 21, 1932 - June 29, 2025

Anne Ross Hurst passed away peacefully on June 29, 2025, at the Village of Germantown in Germantown, Tennessee. Born on November 21, 1932, in Gilmore, Arkansas, to Baxter B. and Mary R. Ross, Anne lived a rich and fulfilling life marked by her love for faith, family, and community.

For over 70 years, Anne called Marion, Arkansas, her home, a community she cherished deeply. She was a woman of many talents and passions: an avid gardener who brought beauty to the world around her, a skilled seamstress whose hands crafted everything from smocked baby clothes, draperies, upholstery and more. She was also a skilled and spirited bridge player who relished a good game with friends. Her faith shone brightly as an active member of Marion United Methodist Church. In 2023, she relocated to the Village at Germantown, where she spent her final years surrounded by new friends, care and love.

Anne was preceded in death by her beloved husband of 52 years, Alfred F. Hurst, with whom she built a life full of devotion and shared memories. She leaves behind a legacy of love in her two sons, Edward Baxter Hurst (Sonia) of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and Charles Alfred Hurst (Suzanne) of Germantown, Tennessee; her grandchildren, Ross Scott Hurst (Audrey) of Memphis, Tennessee, and Caroline Orman Chappell (Josh) of Germantown, Tennessee; and four great-grandchildren, Sophia Dianne Orman, William Charles Hurst, Elizabeth Laine Hurst, and Eleanor Anne Chappell, who brought her immense joy. She is also survived by her brother, Robert R. Ross of Memphis, Tennessee, along with a host of nieces, nephews, and dear friends. Anne was preceded in death by her parents and her siblings, J.W. Ross, Roy Ross, Ray Ross, Arnold Ross, and Louise Ross Jones.

There will be a chapel service at 10:00am Saturday, July 5, 2025, at Roller Citizens Funeral Home in West Memphis and in keeping with Anne's wishes, a private family internment will be held at Crittenden Memorial Park in Marion, Arkansas. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests memorials be made to a charity of the donor's choice, reflecting Anne's generous spirit. Arrangements are entrusted to Roller Citizens Funeral Home in West Memphis, Arkansas. Friends and loved ones may sign an online guestbook below.

Anne's warmth, grace, and unwavering love for those around her will be forever remembered
