Obituary of Anne Azeez

Anne Lloyd Azeez, has peacefully passed away at her home on April 22, 2019 at the age of 88. Anne was born to Howard and Anna (nèe Banning) Lloyd. She lived most of her life in South Jersey on the beautiful farm where she grew up and where she raised her family. Married for more than 30 years to Sam Azeez, they had four children, Michael (Kathy), Linda (Steve), Susan (Emile) and Cynthia, who gave them twelve grandchildren (Matt, Zach, Jess, Alyse, Ashley, Morgan, Rachel, Ari, Paris, Abigail, Brad and Yael) and four great grandchildren (Gabriel, Hannah, Adamus and Noah) with a fifth on the way. Anne's extended family, who always were dear to her heart, included her brother Howard (Millie), her sisters Lois (Corky) and Ruth (Ken) Morris (Bonnie) and her much loved nieces and nephews. Anne embodied all aspects of a strong, independent woman who always stayed true to her authentic self. Anne treated every person with respect and compassion, never quick to pass judgment and always there to offer support and unconditional love. She will be remembered for her sense of humor, captivating laugh and contagious smile that brought joy and comfort when times were good and when it was needed the most. Never forgetting her humble beginnings, Anne was exceedingly generous, believing that everyone should be given the chance to pursue their dreams. Most of all, Anne put her family first, valuing tradition and the importance of everyone sharing unforgettable experiences and adventures together. Her beauty, grace and kind blue eyes will never be forgotten. The family extends their deepest gratitude and appreciation to Katarina and Mariam, whose extraordinary care, kindness and love allowed Anne to live her final years at home. Anne touched the lives of so many and to say that she will be missed is an understatement. Contributions in lieu of flowers can be made to the Sam Azeez Museum, P.O. Box 519 Woodine NJ 08270. Services will be held on April 23rd at the Woodbine Brotherhood Synagouge, 618 Washington Ave Woodbine NJ. Interment and reception to follow.
