Saratoga Springs - Anne Bokan, 93, of Prestwick Chase died comfortably surrounded by family on Monday, Feb. 1, 2016.  A native of Saratoga Springs, she grew up at the Hotel Russell on Franklin Square, owned and managed by her father, Charles Russell. Her mother, Elizabeth Russell, was a beloved first grade teacher at Division Street School. Anne has two brothers, Charles Thomas of Atlanta, Georgia and David Vincent, of Charlottesville, Virginia and Margaret Burzalow, deceased.

Anne continued in the hotel business when she and her husband Joseph John Bokan bought and renovated the property that became Anne's Washington Inn on South Broadway. Her son, Joe, and his wife Kathy continue the legacy for a third generation. Anne loved and played duplicate bridge, participating in games 2-3 times a week at Prestwick Chase.

Anne was always well turned out, quick with a smile and enjoyed everyone, whether a returning guest, a new friend at Prestwick Chase or a life-long resident of Saratoga Springs.

Anne is survived by her six children; Peggy (Margaret) (Rich) Greenawalt, Philadelphia, PA; Susan Bokan, Saratoga Springs; Patrice Bokan, Saratoga Springs; Marianne Bokan-Blair (David Blair), Pittsburgh, PA; Joseph Bokan (Kathy) Saratoga Springs; and Beth (Jeff) Burt, Ballston Spa. Anne had 13 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren.

The family is grateful to Anne's kind caregivers who allowed her to live her life to its fullest and to Community Hospice for their expertise, comfort and care.

By request, there will be no calling hours.
