Anne was born May 24, 1938, to the late Woodrow Collins and Evelyn Lawrence Collins Page. She grew up mainly in the Sugar Grove area of Butler County where she lived with her mother and her grandparents as a young child. Her mother, Evelyn remarried when Anne was a child and she was raised by her mother and her step-father, Glyndon Page.
