Celebrity chef Anne Burrell, beloved for her energetic presence on the Food Network, has died at 55. She was found unresponsive at her Brooklyn home on June 17 and could not be revived despite paramedics’ efforts. A cardiac arrest was reported, but an autopsy will confirm the cause.

Anne built a respected career with shows like Worst Cooks in America and Secrets of a Restaurant Chef. She graduated from the Culinary Institute of America in 1996 and once taught at the Institute of Culinary Education in New York.

In her personal life, Anne found love again after a previous engagement ended. She met her husband, Stuart Claxton, on Bumble. They married in a charming fairy-tale ceremony in Cazenovia, with Anne arriving by horse and carriage.

The couple skipped a traditional honeymoon, choosing instead to settle into their renovated Brooklyn home. Anne often shared joyful moments with Stuart and his son, Javier, embracing her new role as stepmom.

Fans and fellow chefs remember Anne not only for her culinary talent but for her warmth and vibrant spirit, which will be dearly missed.
