Anne M. Hickey
<p>Anne M. (Moynagh) Hickey, 91, of Worcester, died on Monday, September 30, 2024, at her home surrounded by her loving family. </p><p> Anne was born in Sturbridge, daughter of Charles K. and Arline M. (Bushnell) Moynagh. She grew up in Sturbridge and graduated from Mary E. Wells High School in Southbridge in 1951. She attended Memorial Hospital School of Nursing, graduating as a Registered Nurse in 1954. She worked for several years at Memorial Hospital in Worcester before putting her nursing career on hold to raise her children. In 1977, she resumed her nursing career and continued working until her retirement from Adcare Hospital in March 2013, at the age of 80. Nursing was her calling since she was a young girl caring for her grandmother. Her colleagues were sad to lose her but at the same time happy for her when she retired. They shared many stories of how she mentored and inspired them. </p><p>Anne married her late husband, Paul F. Hickey, on July 9, 1956. They shared 37 years of marriage together before his untimely death in 1994. </p><p>Anne was deeply devoted to her family. Her greatest joy in life was spending time with her family and celebrating every moment she could with her children, grandchildren and great-grandson, as well as with her extended family and close friends. She especially enjoyed the holidays and always prepared everyone’s favorite foods. She was the embodiment of love, strength, grace and compassion. Anne was incredibly selfless and was a strong advocate for those she loved and for the many patients she cared for over the years. </p><p>Anne was a devout Catholic and active parishioner at Our Lady of the Rosary Parish for over 65 years. </p><p>Anne is survived by her two daughters, Deborah Bourget of Webster and Kathleen Hickey of Auburn; and three sons, Kevin Hickey of Worcester, Timothy Hickey and his wife Diana of Gulf Breeze, Florida, and Charles Hickey of Shrewsbury. She leaves four grandchildren, Daniel and his wife Helene, David, Hunter and his wife Brittany, and Haylee and her partner Payton; a great grandson Hayes; and 19 nephews and nieces. She was predeceased by three brothers, James T. Moynagh, Howard K. Moynagh and John B. Moynagh, a sister Arline F. (Moynagh) Maguire, and a daughter-in-law Cathleen (Perry) Hickey. </p><p>May Anne rest in peace with the Lord as we hold memories of her close to our hearts. </p><p>A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at Our Lady of the Rosary Church, 25 Fales Street, Worcester on Wednesday, October 9, at 10 a.m. followed by burial in St. John’s Cemetery, Worcester. Calling hours are Tuesday, October 8, from 4 to 7 p.m. at the Athy Memorial Home, 111 Lancaster St., Worcester. </p><p>In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be sent to Our Lady of the Rosary Church or St. John’s Food for the Poor, 44 Temple St., Worcester, MA 01604. </p>September 30, 202409/30/2024
