Remembering Anne Sturdivant

Anne Sturdivant, who was known online as Apple Annie or @anniegreens, passed away on January 7, 2025 in Portland, Oregon. We hadn’t heard from her in a while, but anyone who knew Anne knew that it wasn’t uncommon to see her taking occasional breaks from online spaces. When her personal site went offline recently, though, something felt different. Another omg.lol member reached out with some information, and I was able to confirm that Anne had sadly passed away (though specific details are very sparse).

She was a brilliant front-end developer, and I routinely learned a lot from her. A prolific blogger, Anne participated in many of the IndieWeb blogging challenges and even started one of her own. She was the only person who could motivate me to post something daily for thirty days.

Fiercely passionate about a number of causes, Anne devoted much of her time and energy to spreading awareness of issues related to long COVID and ME/CFS. She also worked more broadly to advocate for people with disabilities and to help others better understand how to be good advocates themselves.

She will be missed by all those who knew her and learned from her. 🖤
