Ms. Anne Mathis Maybin of Spartanburg, South Carolina, entered eternal rest on Friday, August 28, 2026, following a brief illness. Born in Spartanburg County, Anne was the daughter of Mr. Floyd Mathis and the late Mrs. Beulah Petty Mathis.

Ms. Maybin was an active and faithful member of the Greater New Zion Baptist Church, under the leadership of Reverend Jimmie Peake Jr. Anne loved her church family.

Anne was admired for her caring and humble spirit, which brought comfort and joy to everyone she touched. Her smile brightened every room and warmed the hearts of those around her. To know Anne was to understand the genuine meaning of a walking blessing. Her love, intelligence, creativity, and faithful spirit will live on through future generations. We love you, our angel.
