She started working at Doubleday Publishing and began a lifelong love of books. Anne eventually moved back to Atlanta opening her own executive placement agency, Status, Inc. In 1994 Anne sold her business to return to New York and open a public relations firm. Anne loved working with different authors and celebrities. Her clients included Barbara Walters, Janet Evanovich and numerous others. Anne recalled calling a popular magazine to pitch an article on Paula Deen. When the editor said she had no idea who Paula Deen was, Anne assured her, “You will.” 

In 2017 Anne said her final goodbye to New York City and returned to her family and friends in Thomson, GA. Anne loved her time Thomson and becoming active at the Thomson YMCA and making many new friends there. She also loved her new home on Gordon Street and its close proximity to the library.

She is survived by her brothers, Thomas Marion Dozier, Jr. of Augusta, GA and Richard Lee Dozier (her favorite brother) of Thomson, GA.

Anne was beautiful and loved by all. She was the center of attention in every room she entered (which was always late). Anne will be missed by many but forgotten by none.  God speed dear Annie!
