Annie Mae was a mighty woman of God, a bible scholar and lived by the parable taught by Jesus in Matthew 25:31-40 which teaches we should give to those in need. Annie Mae had very little, but what she had she gave freely, even if it meant she went without. Her legacy of giving will live on after her being called home to be with the Lord. In 2018, her children formed the Annie Mae Craft Foundation in her honor. The Foundation will combat poverty in the Greater Hartford, CT community by providing education scholarships, and grants to assist with housing, food insecurity, medical care, home heating costs to its low-income citizens.
