Anne (Champ) Stanford, 75, of East Hampton, wife of the late Robert J. Stanford, Jr., died Thursday May 29, 2014 at the Marlborough Health Care Center, surrounded by her children, her brother and her sister-in-law. Born March 27, 1939 in Hartford, daughter of the late Joseph N. and Madeline (Guglielmo) Champ. She had lived in Glastonbury over 30 years before moving to East Hampton. Prior to her retirement she was an Office Manager for the CT Associates of Health Care. Anne is survived by her three children and their spouses: Katherine and Charles Martie of East Haddam, Robert and Linda Stanford of East Hampton, Lori and Jeffrey Brooks of Hebron, her brother Daniel J. Champ and his wife Louise of Duxbury, MA, her sister-in-law Kathleen Lawrence of East Hartford and six grandchildren: Nicole, Katie and Nicholas Claps, Madeline and Rachel Brooks, Robert J. Stanford, III. Her grandson called her "Sunshine" when he was little because she always sang You Are My Sunshine to him. We all thought the name suited her perfectly.
