Annie and I were co-workers for many years. She taught my children and remained a close friend of mine after her retirement. She will be remembered by many people for her ready smile, her energetic spirit and her wonderful soul. She treasured her family, her friends and her independence. May you find the peace you need in the hereafter. I will miss you....

I worked with Annie at Largo High School. In all those years, Annie always represented herself and her profession with dignity and grace. It was nice to see how her family treasured her. I know she is with her Maker.
