Annie, with that contagious smile, always brought light and joy to the space she occupied. Her "quiet" spirit and a willingness to help and support Cade's Sunday School will be sorely missed. He's given you everlasting rest!

My sweet memory of Annie will be her coming into church service at Cade a tad late and somehow always squeezed into our sitting section. Dressed in her blue pantsuit sporting that contagious smile.
