Anne Sellors was born in 1952, in Sheffield, UK. A clever and creative child, she excelled at school. Her love of theater and cinema led her to go on to study drama. Her love of children, her fun loving nature and her desire and willingness to encourage others' potential led her to take her drama education and her extra curricular knowledge of the same into the classroom, where she became a well loved, admired and fondly remembered Drama Teacher at Chaucer School.
Anne enjoyed a happy and fulfilling personal life, not only enjoying her many creative hobbies, but in having the company of a large circle of friends, former students still making contact, a close relationship with her brother and sister and the blessed birth of a very much treasured son.
As Anne's students grew older and left school, many went on to professional careers within the industry and they could not forget the very wonderful, inspiring lady who had set them on that path. One such former student was involved in making a film locally, which would be shown on television and they had already secured some notable names to take part. The former student asked Anne if she would consider taking part. Anne thought this a great compliment and that taking part would be great fun. Anne's role in the piece is a choice role for an extra, because it makes her stand out of the crowd and it was a great respect which desired her to stand out of the crowd and it was a great sense of fun which allowed it.
Anne's lessons were legendary, or 'bonkers', described as kids favorite lessons, because of Anne's infectious personality, warmth, genuine nature, empathy, scatty behavior, and that she was funny, fun, encouraging, bubbly, always had time for her students, went above and beyond what was expected and made everyone feel like a star!
Many years later, Anne was ecstatic to welcome the birth of a grandson and as with all things in life; Anne was a great support to the new parents, as well as to the baby.
Anne retired from teaching and everyone was very sad to see her go; the students, the teachers, the dinner ladies and the cleaners; everyone would miss Anne!
Anne enjoyed her retirement, with visits from family, friends and former students, some of whom she'd inspired to become teachers. She also spent much time traveling, reading, gardening and enjoying the local amateur dramatics.
Sadly, Anne became unexpectedly ill, at a relatively young age and unfortunately no cure was available. Anne was very stoic and humorous to the end. Her family, friends and former students rallied around and supported her admirably.
Anne Sellors passed away peacefully, in Leicester, UK on Tuesday 28th July 2015, aged 63 years.
Anne's family, friends and former students attended a celebration of her life and as a final statement of Anne's inner beauty and great kindness and that of her family; there were no flowers, donations were made to a relevant charity, to help others.- Anthony Browne was born in 1946 in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England, UK.
