Obituary: Anne Sempliner Lissner, 79, Taught At Bridgewater-Raritan
BRIDGEWATER, NJ — Anne Sempliner Lissner, formerly of Bridgewater, passed away at age 79 this week.Lissner grew up in Somerville, N.J. before moving to Bridgewater for high school. She loved singing and learning foreign languages, and was the president of the Spanish Honor Society in the Bridgewater-Raritan High School class of '63. She was devastated at age 15 to lose her mother Charlotte. She went on to obtain a Bachelor's Degree in Spanish Education from Douglas College at Rutgers and always spoke of wonderful times as an exchange student at Universidad Iberoamericano in Mexico City, while living with the family of actor Enrique Zambrano. Lissner taught Spanish and French for several years at her old high school before raising her two children in Matawan and Freehold. She always sang Broadway songs to her children and made sure to watch the Rodgers & Hammerstein classics when they aired on TV each year. She loved dogs, music, and dark humor. When her daughter asked her, during her final days, what she wanted her grandchildren to do when they grew up, she replied, "Roto Rooter." She is survived by two children, Caren and Todd, two grandchildren, Zach and Ally, two younger sisters, Lauren Boyd and Ellen Klein, niece Cara Drozd, and cousins Suzanne Kaufman, Susan Resnick, Eliana Resnick, and Lawrence Resnick. She was predeceased by parents Arthur and Charlotte, stepmother Rosalind Leder, and her three beautiful dogs she spoke of all her life, Hank, Davey, and Megan. She will be loved and missed forever. Her family would like to thank the staffs of Complete Care at Hamilton Plaza, Andover Subacute Care, and Trinitas Medical Center for their kindness toward Anne in her final years. Burial will be private. When you walk through a storm, hold your head up high, and don't be afraid of the dark. Condolences may be shared at [email protected].
