Anna Payne

Anna, lived with her beloved bernedoodle, Roman, in Middletown Township, Pa, where she served on the Board of Supervisors. She was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis at birth and spent her life advocating for those with the disease, serving as vice chair of the Pennsylvania Rare Disease Advisory Council and co-founder of the Bucks County Cystic Fibrosis Alliance. Anna loved Bernie Sanders, aspired to run for higher office, had two life-size cutouts of her idol, The Rock, inside her condo, swore on comedian Lewis Black (pun intended), and had an edgy and eclectic taste for rap music that made her mother uncomfortably blush. 

February 2025 — We are deeply saddened to learn of Anna's passing. She was a dedicated advocate and contributor to the CF Community Blog. We are inspired by and grateful for Anna's contributions to our shared mission to help all people with CF.
