Anne worked proudly as a secretary for 40 years, and particularly enjoyed her work in law offices. She was a legal secretary in Butler and Washington counties, and had also worked as a typesetter and proofreader for local, national, and international publications.

Anne loved to read and had amassed a large personal library. In 2016 she opened a Little Free Library at her home in Tipton. She also enjoyed traveling with her husband, oil painting, and cooking. But most of all, Anne loved time with her family and friends.

Anne was the founder of the Harshman Family Scholarship, given annually to a Bellwood-Antis graduating senior.

The scholarship has been in existence since 1999.
