“I ran into @greenladyofbrooklyn in my neighborhood today!!” Anne captioned. “I’m not going to lie- I have been keeping an eye out for her. I may or may not have followed her down the street for a minute. She is just lovely!!! #ilovewhatido #luckygirl.”

Around the time of the post, the Green Lady of Brooklyn commented: “Hi Ann it was so much fun meeting you see you again soon in the neighborhood the only thing I make is coffee and fig preserves from my fig tree love and hugs. Elizabeth.”

With Anne’s last Instagram post being of her with green-laden influencer, countless are taking to the comment section to mourn Anne.

“This can’t be true. Chef Anne you were vivacious, hilarious, full of life and reminded me of my Mom. I’m so so sorry. Rest with the Angels in Heaven and cook up a storm for us [heart emojis],” one Instagram user shared.

A second remarked: “Rip Anne. You brought so much light to Food Network. Worst Cooks is still one of my favorite shows,” and another noted, “Not Chef Anne! You were only 55.”
