A typical Southern lady, Annie loved taking care of her family, cooking, gardening and maintaining an immaculate home. She also spent time as a volunteer with the Red Cross and the Association for Retarded Citizens, as well as participating in various community Bible studies.

She will be greatly missed by her family, but comfort is found in knowing she is now with her Savior and reunited with her husband and other family and friends who went before her.

The family would like to give special thanks to Dr.Guy Patterson and his nurse Peggy for their many years of care for her.

Visitation will be at 10:00 A.M. Saturday December 1, 2012 at Ridouts Valley Chapel, Homewood. Funeral service led by Dr. Daniel Wilson will follow in the chapel. Burial will be at New Live Oak Cemetery in Selma.
