Dana plane crash: US neighbours mourn Anyenes

RESIDENTS of West Hartford's Quaker Green neighborhood in the United States were stunned on Monday to learn that Maimuna Anyene, her four children and her husband were among the 153 passengers and crew killed in the crash of a Dana Air plane in Lagos, on Sunday.'We're all very sad. The whole community is very tight knit. I saw her leave with her husband and all four kids, going to her brother's wedding,' said Elyse Fox, who lived next door to Anyene.The neighbours said while Anyene and her children lived on Park Place Circle, her husband worked in Nigeria, but returned to West Hartford every few months. On Monday afternoon, a bouquet of yellow tulips was left on the front door of the family's home.Anyene had lived in her house in Elmwood's newly-developed Quaker Green condominium complex for several years. According to the Hartford Courant, she was a human resources manager for United Technologies.Another neighbour, Tegan Gonzalez, believed Anyene's mother and, perhaps, at least one other relative were also on the plane. Gonzalez, also the mother of a preschooler, said Anyene's oldest child was just about four, the twin daughters would have been two in July, and the baby was about six months old.Gonzalez said she had already contacted United Technologies and was hoping to do something to formally honour the memory of the family.
