Nolan Elementary School on Signal Mountain honors the memory of her and her husband, Dr. Paul Nolan.

The school website says, "Because of years of faithful service Paul and Anne Nolan have given our community, Signal Mountain will never be the same. Hours of recognition could never convey our deep respect, admiration, and appreciation for a couple who has helped establish such high standards in education."

Mrs. Nolan served the town of Signal Mountain as both commissioner and mayor from 1979-1987. While being a mother to their three children, she was active in the community and Signal Mountain Baptist Church. She was honored by being selected as "Woman of the Year" on Signal Mountain.

Dr. Paul Nolan in 1966 began his tenure on the Hamilton County Quarterly Court, where he served until 1978. He served the state of Tennessee in the House of Representatives from 1968-1970. In 1982 he joined the Hamilton County Commission where he served in several capacities until 1998.

Funeral arrangements will be by the Valley View Chapel of Chattanooga Funeral Home.
