P. Anne Livingston (Sonney)

Anne Livingston (Sonney), 67, passed away suddenly and far too soon, on June 9, 2022. Anne was born to Jerry and Thelma (Dickson) Sonney on September 23, 1954. She grew up with brother, Joe, on the family orchard in Orondo. She attended Orondo Elementary School, Sterling Jr. High, and graduated from Eastmont High School in 1973. Anne met and married Rob Livingston in 1974. They had one daughter, Caitlin. Although they divorced, they remained friends until the end of Anne's life. Anne was a devoted and selfless mother and grandmother. Her dedicated support of Caitlin was always her first priority. Caitlin's daughter Faith knew her Mae Mae was always there for her, and fortunately Anne was there to proudly see Faith graduate from high school shortly before her passing. She was also a second mother and dearest friend to her nephew, Jeremy. Anne's selflessness extended to her career as well. Anne spent 42 years working as a library specialist at Wenatchee Valley College. During her tenure, she was pivotal in guiding the library into the digital research age. She also taught genealogy courses for years as an unpaid volunteer. Anne was passionate about history and genealogy, and she volunteered for decades at the Wenatchee Genealogical Society and the LDS Genealogy and Family History Library, where she developed lifelong friendships. She also volunteered her time to those seeking adoption information. Anne has been reunited in heaven with her father, Jerry, and her grandparents, CE and Lucille Sonney, and William and Edith Dickson. Her kind and sweet spirit will be missed by her daughter, Caitlin Livingston; her granddaughter, Faith Braley; her mother, Thelma Sonney; her brother and sister-in-law, Joe and Jody Sonney, her nephews, Jeremy Sonney and Damin Daling; and her nieces, Heather Harper and Courtney Bede; as well as countless other family and friends. A Celebration of Life will be held at 1:00 p.m., Saturday, July 30, 2022, at Rocky Reach Dam Picnic #2, 6151 US Hwy 97A, Wenatchee, WA. Light refreshment will be served. It will be warm, so please dress for the weather and bring a chair or blanket for your comfort. Arrangements under the direction of Chapel of the Valley, East Wenatchee, WA.
