Anne was born in Santa Clarita, California to Martin Ray and Sheryl Ann (Shields) Graves on September 27, 1993. She spent her early years in California until her family moved to Grapevine when she was twelve. In high school, Anne enjoyed being part of the choir at Grapevine Faith Christian High School and performed with them on the stage of Carnegie Hall on two different occasions. She was a talented amateur photographer. Anne also loved dogs, fishing, camping, mountains, spending time with friends, reading and card games (especially Shanghai). Yellowstone National Park was another love of Anne’s. She spent three summers there and especially loved watching the wolves. Anne was blessed by being part of two mission trips with her church to the Amazon River in Brazil. She was deeply loved by both family and friends alike. Anne is survived by her: parents, Martin and Sheryl Graves of Grapevine; brother, Andrew Graves of College Station; her sister, Ashley Graves of Grapevine; paternal grandparents, Carroll and Percilla Graves of Prosper; maternal grandparents, Jimmy and Zura Shields of Canton, Texas; and a host of friends and family.

I didn't know your sweet little girl, nor do I know you, but I was prompted to watch the tribute video and now I am prompted to say to you....I am a parent of four grown children myself and I cannot imagine the grief you must be feeling, but I wanted to remind you of the wonderful life you provided for your child, evident in every photograph. God gave you Anne Marie to love, to hold, to teach, to guide back to her Heavenly Father and you have done a wonderful job of that. Now it is His turn to spend time with your sweet baby, just until you (her parents and family) return home to Him. She is in such a wonderful place now and as much as you love your baby...God loves her more. Please find comfort in knowing that she will be waiting for you, along with all of the promises our Lord and Savior has offered his children. May God bless you and comfort you. You did a wonderful job here on Earth with your little girl.
