Annie was an avid gardener, who canned most of what was raised and loved to bake. She was also an exceptional seamstress who made most of the children’s clothes and draperies. Annie was family oriented. The grandchildren, who all called her “BigMomma,” remember being at the house every Sunday after church, with so many aunts, uncles, and cousins, it was like a family reunion every week.She and her husband used to make patchwork quilts. She retired as a domestic worker, having worked for several area doctors.Family and friends will greatly miss Annie.
