Anne

Tatlow

Anne Nelson Tatlow, age 85, passed away peacefully at home in Littleton, CO, surrounded by her loved ones, following a brave and lengthy period of declining health.

Born on May 10, 1941, in Staunton, VA, Annie was the daughter of Thomas Rodes Nelson and Francis Rynhart Nelson and the younger sister of Betsy Nelson Harrison. A proud sixth-generation native of Staunton, she graduated from Stuart Hall and went on to attend the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where she earned a degree in Education. She later moved to New York and raised her family in Scarsdale. Over the years she worked in several areas of real estate before becoming a successful agent in Stamford, Connecticut, a career she enjoyed for a years.

While her primary importance and devotion were reserved for her family, Annie also was a committed friend to many and her community. She was a true independent spirit; determined, principled, and full of high energy. Known for her forever-smiling face, kind heart, and great sense of humor, she was a wonderful listener and a deeply social person who naturally drew people to her.

Annie was defined by her endless curiosity and love of exploration and her passions were rich and varied. She was an avid world traveler and hiker who found immense peace in nature and birds. She poured her time into volunteering at the Denver Botanic Gardens and found great joy in culture, attending theater performances and the symphony. 

At home, she could often be found reading a good book, researching her family history, listening to classical music, always accompanied by her beloved cats, whom she adored.

She was predeceased by her parents and her older sister. Annie is survived by her devoted children, Richard (Chip) Henry Tatlow V (Jenifer) and Leslie Hart Tatlow Schott (Chad). She also leaves behind four grandchildren who brought her endless pride and joy: Chapin Schott, Elisabeth Schott, Elle Tatlow, and Nathan Tatlow.In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made in Annie’s memory to the Denver Botanic Gardens
