Anne J. Loftus

Anne J. Loftus, 76, of Frederick, Maryland, went home to be with the Lord on Tuesday, June 2, 2026. She was the beloved wife of Daniel Loftus.

Born on August 26, 1949, at Suburban Hospital in Bethesda, Maryland, Anne was the daughter of the late James Hampton Jones, Jr. and Barbara (Ramsdell) Jones.

Anne attended Ursuline High School and graduated from Sacred Heart College, where she finished first in her class.

Anne enjoyed a distinguished professional career. She worked for several years at the Pentagon and ultimately served in the office of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. She later worked on Capitol Hill for Senator Richard Schweiker. Before retiring, Anne served as the manager of a nephrology practice in Frederick, Maryland. Throughout her career, she was known for her intelligence, professionalism, and genuine care for the people she worked with and served.

She is also survived by numerous nephews, nieces, and cousins.

Anne enjoyed many passions and hobbies including playing the piano, photography, gardening, cooking, including being a talented seamstress. She shared her love of music throughout her life and was a devoted member of choirs of several churches.

More than her accomplishments, Anne will be remembered for her kindness, strength, wit, generosity, and unwavering love for her family. She touched countless lives through her grace, courage, and caring spirit. While her absence leaves an immeasurable void in the hearts of those who loved her, her family finds comfort in knowing that she is now at peace in the presence of the Lord.
