Anabelle graduated from Munster High School in 2021. She was currently studying nursing at Indiana University – Bloomington. She was a proud recipient of the Daisy Award from St. Catherine Hospital in East Chicago.
Anabelle’s presence was nothing short of sunshine incarnate. She had a gift for making every person she met feel welcomed and loved. Her humor and wit could lift the heaviest of spirits, and she had a remarkable talent for helping others laugh their sorrows away. Her impeccable style and incredible beauty were a testament to her vibrant spirit.
A tireless advocate for the voiceless, Anabelle worked hard to ensure that everyone was heard and valued. She was deeply passionate about mental health advocacy, dedicating herself to supporting those in need and raising awareness about mental health issues.
She loved fishing, music, attending concerts, where she could immerse herself in the art and energy of live performances. She had a keen eye for art and a flair for makeup. Anabelle’s legacy of kindness, laughter, and advocacy will continue to inspire all those she knew.

I met Annie at Lollapalooza last year waiting for Lana Del Rey to come out. We waited all day long from 9am to 9:30pm until Lana’s set. We talked all day and learned about each other throughout the day. Although I didn’t know her before that day, she talked to me like we had known each other our whole lives. She was such a sweet girl and my heart is absolutely broken. We continued to remain friends over social media since we live so far apart. I have felt so incredibly lucky to have known...
