Anna ‘Anne’ B. Ware, of Felton, DE, went to be home with the Lord on the morning of February 23, 2026.
She was born in Felton, daughter of the late Walter Raughley and Helen Raughley.
Anna ‘Anne’ Belle Ware, 86
She graduated from Caesar Rodney High School in 1957, and then from Delaware Hospital of School of Nursing in 1960.
In addition to her parents, she was also preceded in death by her husband Vincent ‘Vinnie’ York Ware Sr., and her sibling, Catherine Frazier.
She is survived by one son, Vincent ‘Vince’ York Ware Jr.; and one daughter, Melanie Alexander and her husband Michael, both of Felton.
She was a member of Felton-Viola Methodist Church and a former member of Willing Workers.
She loved spending time with family and friends, reading the Bible and going to church. Her favorite hymns were ‘In the Garden (I Come to the Garden Alone)’ and ‘Softly and Tenderly Jesus is Calling.’
A more loving wife and mother never existed. She was, beyond a shadow of a doubt, the most tender, forgiving, gracious, loving, and caring woman on the face of this earth. She will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her.
There will be no services according to her final wishes. She will be laid to rest with her husband at Barratt’s Chapel Cemetery in Frederica, DE.
