Anne Langford 07/27/2026

Anne Elizabeth Langford, age 90, passed away peacefully at The Deerfield in New Richmond on July 27, 2026, surrounded by her family. She was born on December 17, 1935 in Minneapolis, Minnesota to Frederick and Margaret (Gamble) Kerridge.

Anne was an elementary school teacher, with a degree from Macalester College. She also worked in retail for many years. She raised her family in a loving and creative home. As her children, we all credit her with our great love of gardening, our keen interest in cooking and exploring new cuisines, and the importance of saving for a rainy day. She made many lifelong and cherished friends-people she and Bill met through ORYG/GYRO, neighbors she met in each new neighborhood the family moved to and through her volunteer work over the years with countless organizations including most recently The New Richmond Heritage Center.

Anne and Bill were fortunate to travel extensively together, from the rain forests of Costa Rica, to the tulip fields of Amsterdam, to the golf courses of Scotland. The entire family also enjoyed trips together, on the train out west for mountain skiing, to the Bahamas to celebrate New Year’s Eve, and to Montana ranches for horseback riding.

Anne and Bill together gave their family a wonderful life. For that we are forever grateful.

Anne is survived by children Susan (John Eggers) Langford, James (Erika) Langford and Stacey Langford McDonnell; grandchildren Gus Franchere, Sevie Langford, Maggie Langford, Daniel McDonnell, Joe (Katie) McDonnell, Michael McDonnell, Elizabeth (Casey Tschumper) McDonnell; great-grandchildren Noah and Sophie McDonnnell and many beloved nieces and nephews.

Anne was preceded in death by her husband of 68 years, William Langford, parents Fred and Peggy Kerridge, and son-in-law Patrick McDonnell.
