Best Answer

There is no mention of Anne in The Bible. What we know about her is through tradition and non-canonical writings. She was the mother of the Blessed Virgin Mary and grandmother of Jesus. Common sense tells us that God would only have chosen ancestors of Our Lord who were holy and pious people.
