Anabel was born in Bartlesville, Oklahoma on October 24, 1915, a daughter of the late Rev. Charles and Bess Millison Hulme.

She had been a member of the New Haven Symphony Orchestra and the Musicians Union 802. She had studied with Moyse and later taught the flute herself. She was the Julia Child of the Potting Shed at Edgerton Park in New Haven and enjoyed making jewelry. She enjoyed traveling extensively with her late husband, Frank.

She is survived by three children, Jo-Anne Brieff, Gerry Lewis, and Madeleine Miller and her husband Scott; four grandchildren, Chris Lewis and his wife Tracey, Hillary Lewis Winklemann and her husband Jamie, Kirsten Miller, and Eben Miller and his wife Karen; and four great grandchildren.
