Annie was a kind and loving person with a deep passion for cats. She enjoyed simple pleasures like playing Solitaire, taking drives, eating seafood, and watching her favorite shows, Little House on the Prairie and Gunsmoke. A fan of classic rock, Annie especially loved listening to Tom Petty. Throughout her life, Annie was known for her bright smile, generosity, and the warmth she brought to others. Even on difficult days, she was always willing to lend a hand to those in need. Her heart was truly one of a kind.
