Community patroness. Arts lover. Consummate hostess. Animal-lover. Social-service supporter. Friend.
Anne Thorne Weaver was much more than a supporter of Omaha Performing Arts – she was my dear friend, and her passing on November 23, 2020, represents a significant loss for all of us. I remember when I first met Anne almost 20 years ago. It was easy to spot her – she attended almost everything at the Holland and Orpheum – Broadway shows, Opera Omaha, Omaha Symphony, O-pa events and more. She was passionate about the arts – and held strong opinions about her likes and dislikes. You didn’t need to ask – she was always forthcoming and you knew what she thought!
