Annette was a very religious woman, enjoyed bible study and traveled the World with many friends. She never hesitated to go on an adventure.  She loved keeping in touch with everyone by writing letters and never missed sending out a birthday card. She was an avid photographer and always had a camera in her hand for every occasion. She also loved to draw and paint and study other cultures.

She was so proud of her sons and the lives they created. Her greatest joy was being a Nana to Elizabeth, Jack and Tommy, spending time with them in parks, museums and exploring the world around them.
