NASGA mourns the passing of a dear friend and long-time advocate: Annie McKenna.
Annie has been a loyal and dedicated member of NASGA practically since its inception. She was also our very first “Media Liaison” - a volunteer job she took seriously. She was an avid videographer and made many videos of NY victims, giving them a voice and hope that their voice would be heard. Indeed their voices were heard and Annie worked with a prominent reporter back then who did several reports on NY and CT cases.Annie had a gift for boiling down a complicated case to get to the core which would interest media. She was professional, always positive in her approach and very thorough; her words were measured and concise.
Annie was a real treat to know. She was witty beyond belief and she was inquisitive and interested in just about everything. She was talented and creative and she cared about people trapped in unlawful or abusive guardianships with her whole heart and soul.
We will miss her, her level head and quick wit - and her laugh. Annie McKenna helped NASGA grow; she made us better; and her influence will always be with us.
Godspeed Annie.

RIP Annie McKenna
She left a wonderful legacy. We all wish we would be remembered for such accomplishments.
Sorry NASGA. Another advocate gone. It's so sad.
Many advocates have died over the years and I am always sad to hear of another loss. RIP, Annie.
I am sorry to hear about Annie McKenna's death. She will be missed.
Anne was my biological Mother-we had the blessing of meeting each other again in life when I was 30. The similarities were unbelievable. We both were advocates, we both had a love law. Unfortunately in her later years my siblings kept me away from her. I came looking for Ann‘s video on guardianship because I wanna help Wendy Williams. Wendy Williams is in a fight for her life!
Denise, your Mother will always have a special place in my heart. She was so danged funny, even when she was serious. I miss her wit and her enthusiasm. I am glad you two reconnected and got see each other in each other. She was one of a kind and she was always there when NASGA needed help or advice. I think about her often and will always cherish her memory.
