"Though she is no longer with us, her warmth, spirit, and boundless love remain eternal."

Spin-off absence
Anne's first appearance on Food Network was a stint on Iron Chef America in 2005, before working on the series Secrets of a Restaurant Chef in 2008.
In 2010 she made a name for herself on Worst Cooks In America.
Earlier this year, there was chatter and rampant speculation that Anne might have been fired from the Worst Cooks franchise.
Despite having been a long-standing host of the hit TV show, it's believed she was not set to star in its spin-off: Worst Cooks in America Celebrity Edition.
When Anne was absent from the show on January 10, fans rushed to social media to gauge what had happened.
"Why aren't you in Worst Cooks? It's not the same," penned one person on Anne's Instagram, underneath a post.
Anne replied: "Honestly I don't know".
Recent podcast appearance
During an appearance on TV Chef Rachael Ray's podcast last December, Anne discussed the pressures of being a woman in the industry and how she managed.
She said: "I feel like when you take the effort to do that on your outside it makes you feel better on the inside.
"And like when you show up to a situation, no matter what it is, when you are put together, people notice that.
"And I think it just almost commands respect, you know, where, when you have taken the time to put together yourself."
