"If you see Anne, please call police on 111 and use the reference number 250820/8221."
Information could also be reported via the police phone number 105.
Anne's son made a plea for help finding his mum on social media, and described her as being 155cm, of small build with a brown/blonde long ponytail.
He said she had no phone, wallet or keys with her.
"She may be heading towards familiar places such as Howick, the central city, Point Chev or just sitting in a park," his post said.
"Every minute counts."
