She was preceded in death by her father and mother, as well as her two sisters, Barbara Williams and Cynthia Williams. Annette was a woman of warmth, strength, and heart. She had a passion for cooking and shopping and found her greatest joy in spending quality time with her family. Annette was known for her famous Sunday dinners, where she brought together friends and family with her delicious meals and infectious laughter, creating treasured memories and a sense of togetherness that will never be forgotten. Her home was often filled with the aroma of homemade meals, laughter, and the kind of love that made everyone feel welcome.
A devoted member of the Palma Ceia Baptist Church, under the leadership of Pastor Charles F. Bennett and Pastor Tommie Smith, Annette attended faithfully until her health failed her
