Anne Burrell’s commitment extended well beyond the kitchen. She actively supported City Harvest’s Food Council, was a celebrity ambassador for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, and was a member of the Garden of Dreams Foundation’s advisory board.

“I feel so lucky to be able to share my true passion in life with others,” Burrell frequently remarked.

Her mother, Marlene, sister, Jane, brother, Ben, and husband, Stuart Claxton, as well as his son, Javier, survive her.
