Born on Aug. 19, 1917, in Bayou Sara, to George and Anna Davidson Plettinger, she was a graduate of Julius Freyhan High School and Sophie Newcomb College. She was employed for many years at the Argonne National Laboratory, University of Chicago, where she worked on the Manhattan Project, a secret R&D program that produced the first atomic bomb during World War II. Throughout her lifetime, Anne enjoyed studying photography and even attended LEICA school in Germany. She took extensive photos while working at the University of Chicago, but felt most passionately about documenting her beloved West Feliciana Parish.

Preceded in death by her parents, four brothers and a sister; niece-in-law, Lucy Plettinger; and great-nephew, Lee Plettinger. After retirement, "Miss Anne," as she was affectionately known, was an avid watchdog for the public in the area of nuclear energy, attending many meetings of the Public Service Commission. As a West Feliciana property owner, Miss Anne had her own assigned seat at the police jury meetings.
