Sad News, Artist, Anne Higham, Dies in Car Crash on Centerline Road
Posted by gerald in Life on St. John USVIAnne Higham, who to me always had a good attitude, a warm smile and who was simply a pleasure to be around died early yesterday morning in a car crash on Centerline Road.
According to police, the road was slippery and she apparently had lost control of the vehicle going around a curve. The car went off the road and down the steep hillside.
Anne and Brian Hadley, a passenger in the vehicle, were taken to Myrah Keating Smith Community Health Center, where Anne was pronounced dead. Brian was treated and released.
Goodbye, Anne, we’re going to miss you.

Anne was always a bright light on the darkest day and an amazing light on a sunny day. Her artwork personified her take on life……..colorful, vibrant and happy. I will miss her forever.
I share a very heavy heart. I will miss Annie’s warm heart, her loving friendship and her smile… i can see that smile in my mind’s eye. Many memories of laughter, dancing and sharing lifes ups and downs. I expected many more memories…. peace be with you now forever Annie.
As part of Annie’s family in the states I want to tell her many friends on St. John that the island is and will always be an integral part of her soul. Her sunny demeaner and beautiful smile were a reflection of where she lived and her art will live on as a manifestation of that light. I hope all of you will keep her in your fondest memories as we will. Thank you for being such a beloved community for her for so many years.
I found out today that my friend Annie love was no longer with us. We have been through a lot together. Her smile is the first thing I think of when I see her face. Talented and beautiful. I can’t believe you’re gone. My love goes out to you’re family and all your friends who will miss you so much. Her name is Annie Love, Love, Love xxx
If anyone has any information about a memorial service, I will do my best to get back to St. John for it even if it is short notice.Please e-mail me at
porcupine09@rocketmail.com. I would be forever gratefull. Thankyou everyone.
Annie was a beautiful person full of love and light. I am full of sorrow to hear of her passing, but know that she is in a beautiful place where her free spirit can truly soar
Annie was an inspiration and part of our St. John family, she will be missed!
St. John Annie was one of the nicest souls I met while briefly living on island last summer. With her vibrant stories and constant smile it was hard to not laugh and have a good time while in her presence. Her art work was impeccable and awe inspiring. STJ Annie, you will be forever missed, please look down upon paradise and bless all.
Annie was one of those super sweet people that you feel good just hanging out with.I saw her when I returned after ten years and she didn’t seem to have aged.She will be missed by all of us who knew her.
Not only is St John integral to Annies soul, but Annie is integral to St Johns soul…our Annie Love is now gone from the island formerly known as Love City. The skies above have not stopped crying and grieving since Annie left 9 days ago. Who feels it knows it, Lord.
Some times your mind doesn’t catch up with the place some one holds in your heart soon enough. I will miss that “Annie essence” so much! It is hard to put in to words the effect she had on every one and every thing around her. Our Annie was and is such a seamless part of all that is Love City. I am worried about her dog “Mo” and wish I were allowed to give him a final home for his last days, but can’t due to rental regs. Surely, some one else can!
A memorial service for Annie has been scheduled for Saturday, June 6, 4:00 PM at Rhumb Lines. Annie’s life will be celebrated with “music, dancing, laughter, singing, art and food.”
Gerry, Hi to you from Frank Mancini (former Paradiso owner) and I. We are totally devastated to learn of Annie’s passing last year. What a cruel blow for those that loved her. God bless all of you. Very, very sad.
