Annette was a kind and beautiful person. Her passion and dedication to the betterment of her community was relentless. She was a leader, mentor, friend and a warm smile to all, which will be severely missed. The mark she left on Friendship Village, Tempe, and Arizona has not gone unnoticed and will not be forgotten.
Annette, you wil be missed!

I knew Annette from her long-time involvement with the Arizona Democratic Party.; she was a precinct committee person for District 17 Democrats (Tempe/S. Scottsdale) helping to organize her corner of the world.
We will miss her activism, good humor, and her grace. I know she left her children and grandchildren a wonderful legacy of caring about those less fortunate than herself. She was a teacher through and through and she inspires us all to make a difference in this world.
We will miss, you Annette!
