Anne was born on April 12, 1941, in Hidalgo County, TX to Jesse and Annie Lilly. She graduated from Harlingen High School in the class of 1959 before continuing her studies at Texas A&I College, where she graduated in 1962. On June 7, 1964, she married Sal Eacono in La Jolla, California, with whom she shared the joys of life together for 50 years. With stops in San Jose, California and Florida, she arrived with Sal and their family to Austin in 1976, where she taught school in Round Rock ISD. She enjoyed a second career as a senior programmer for IBM until her retirement. In her spare time she enjoyed genealogy and traveling, in addition to her association with the Daughters of the Republic of Texas.
Her husband said, the fifty years of their marriage were blessed. Together, they always agreed that they had a wonderful life together, full of joy and happiness. They had fun doing many things together. Sal would say that “their life together was one great adventure that would forever hold the greatest of memories.”
She is preceded in death by her parents, her son, Joseph; and her brothers, Wallace and Ken Lilly. She leaves behind to cherish her memory: her husband, Sal; daughters: Alyssa Eacono and Gia Gillis (David); granddaughters: Elena and Ava Gillis; sisters, Barbara Davidson and Gail Hill, and other loving family and friends.
