Anne Elizabeth de Bourbon of Alexandria, Va., died on Monday, April 4, 2016, following complications from surgery earlier this year. She was a resident of Westport for more than 15 years before moving to Alexandria in 2003.
Born on May 4, 1951, she grew up in Patterson, N.Y., the youngest daughter of Filiberto de Bourbon and Lucia Vasquez de Cobo de Bourbon. Five brothers survive: Charles, of Delaware Water Gap, Pa.; Anthony, of Lansing, Mich.; Ferdinand, of New Milford, Conn.; Francis, of Los Angeles, and James, of Dallas, Texas. A sister, Maria, and brother, Philip, preceded her in death. Also surviving are six cousins, including Marie B. Stone, with whom she was particularly close.
A graduate of John F. Kennedy High School in Somers, N.Y., and Endicott College in Beverly, Mass., Anne’s career was in banking, working most recently as a mortgage underwriter with 1st Mariner Bank in Bethesda, Md. Previously she was a senior underwriter at Capital One in Bethesda and worked with PMI Mortgage Company.
While living in Westport she worked as branch supervisor for Columbia National Mortgage in Fairfield and got her start in banking at Home Savings of America in Westport, where she worked for more than seven years.
Anne was known for her Old World sensibilities and taste. She appreciated fine European antiques and art, which was reflected in the home she loved in Westport and later her home in the Old Town section of Alexandria.
Neighbors and friends celebrated Anne’s life with a gathering at her home last week, raising their glasses in many toasts.
Family and friends will gather for a Mass of Christian Burial on Saturday, July 2, 2016 at 10 a.m. at the Church of St. John the Evangelist in Pawling, N.Y., with interment to follow at Maple Avenue Cemetery in Patterson, N.Y.
Memorial donations may be made in Anne’s honor to Carpenter’s Shelter, 930 N. Henry St., Alexandria, VA 22314 or carpentersshelter.org.
