Anne Henderson's Obituary
Anne Henderson, age 61 of the Independence Community in Millsboro, DE, passed away on Tuesday, January 28, 2020, at Beebe Hospital, in Lewes. She was born on September 4, 1958 in Trenton, NJ, daughter of the late Robert and Nancy (Byrnes) Henderson.
Anne grew up in Bucks County, PA and graduated from Council Rock, Newtown, PA. After spending 10 years in Dallas, TX as a Computer Software Consultant she returned to the Delaware Valley area as an Independent Software Consultant and Trainer in Southern NJ. Anne was a passionate Phillies and Eagles fan. She enjoyed skiing, snorkeling, gardening, zip lining, traveling, planning family gatherings, reading, and word games. Anne was a talented and creative interior designer, who totally refurbished their New Smyrna Beach condo, where she relished long walks on the beach with her husband. Her ability to turn an interior-design vision into reality became a model for others to follow. She had an infectious smile which drew you in and her competitive nature kept you engaged in conversation. Her roasted peppers were a family favorite. Above all, Anne cherished time spent with those she held most dear. She was a loving and devoted wife, sister, cousin, aunt, and friend who was loved by many and will be deeply missed by all who knew her.
Anne is survived by her beloved husband of 30 years, Joseph K. Cianela, who was always there for her, even as she took her final breath; her 4 siblings; and her many cousins, nieces, and nephews.
