Anne was born December 3, 1966 and was raised on the Wind River Indian Reservation by her parents Violet Lawson-Hurtado and Rocky Hurtado.
Anne had four children in her lifetime. She was married briefly to Russell Warren. They had son, Phillip Jerome (PJ) Warren on March 3, 1981. Later she was married to Robert Peterson, and they had John Robert Peterson on May 3, 1983. In 1985 she gave birth to Ashley Michelle Martinez on July 11. She gave Ashley up for adoption to Margaret and Martin Martinez. She also had another child in 1986.
Anne was trained and certified as a heavy equipment operator and worked for Border States of North Dakota for several years. She also worked as a bartender in North Dakota and the Boot Bar in Riverton. Driven by her love for animals, led her to work at the PAWS animal shelter for a short period of time.
Life wasn’t always easy for Anne; she had her struggles—battling alcoholism, addiction, and depression—Anne always found time to enjoy the things that made her happy. She loved to gamble, spend time with friends, and lend a hand to anyone in need.
In her later years, Anne devoted herself entirely to caring for her parents during their final days.
