Annette Echevarria

Annette Echevarria 1967 - 2011 On March 6, 2011, our beloved, Annette, passed away, peacefully at home, surrounded by her family. Born in Phoenix, Arizona on February 18, 1967, Annette was the youngest of 7 children born to Anne Corinne (Lovin) Morris and Kenneth James Morris, Sr. Moving with her family to Spokane, Washington, Annette graduated from Mead High School in 1985 and returned to Phoenix were she met her future husband, James Nicholas Echevarria. They were married on April 24, 1993 at Spokane and moved to Boise where she remained until her death. Annette and Nick welcomed 3 children into their lives - Zachary (15), Matthew (11), Jacob (9) - and there was never any doubt that her family was the light of her life. Annette was considered to be the most positive and selfless person in her family, as well as the most determined - all of which served her well as she struggled with the challenges of her final years. She passed through it all with the utmost grace and dignity in spite of everything. She was an amazing wife and mother, daughter, sister, aunt - and her love and influence will be impressed upon us all forever. Surviving Annette are her husband, Nick, and her three sons, Zachary, Matthew, Jacob; her siblings: Ken (Debbie), Kate, Steve, Mike (Nancy), Mary (Chris); her in-laws: Yvonne Echevarria, Christy (Tim), Mark (MaryKay), Reme (Kelby) and her many, much loved, nieces and nephews, grand-nieces and grand-nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents, and her sister, Susan. She was Nick's 'pink rose'. A Mass of the Resurrection will be held on Tuesday, May 17, 2011 at 11:00 AM at Holy Apostles Catholic Church, 6300 N. Meridian Rd, Meridian.
