Born January 28, 1963 in Starke, Florida
Departed March 15, 2022 in Palm Bay, Florida
Anne Pownall Cote, 59, passed away peacefully Tuesday, March 15 after a short illness with her family at her side.
Anne was a native Floridian and was born in Starke, Florida. She graduated from Palm Bay High School and went on to become a world-known sales manager in the martial arts field from which she gained many long-time friends in the field. She worked for many years at Macho Products and most recently at Asian World.
Although never blessed with children, Anne was a beloved aunt, devoted daughter and cherished sister. She leaves behind to grieve her mother and step-father Janice Pownall and Farooh Mohammed, her dad and step-mother Thomas and Leslie Pownall; sisters Esther Pownall and Bridgette Kraft, her brother and sister-in-law Tommy and Michele Pownall; and numerous nieces, nephews and grand-nieces and grand-nephews.
Services will be held Saturday, March 19 at 1:00 pm at Brownlie Maxwell Funeral Home with a memorial following at Rooney’s, 2641 Palm Bay Road, NE, Palm Bay.
Annie has a love and passion for cats, so in lieu of flowers, her family requests that donations be made in her memory to Halo No-kill Shelter in Sebastian, Florida or your local No-kill shelter. The family would like to thank the doctors and staff at William Childs Hospice House for their loving care in Anne’s last days.
