Annette Grove

I met Annette when I started work at MERS in 1994 and as the Director of the Lippman Center and my supervisor, she provided just the right listening ear and direction to help me do my job successfully (and enjoyably). Whatever my job changes were, Annette was a loyal advocate and supporter of my efforts. I admired her intelligence and resilience immensely. As she faced this disease, I saw her do so with dignity and optimism and observed her wisely draw on the encouragement of friends and...

I knew Annette through Goodwill and have always considered her to be a dedicated, caring, and generally wonderful person. She will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with her family.

So sorry to find out about Annette's passing. We should all strive to emulate the way in which Annette carried herself.

Annette touch many individuals at various Goodwill organizations throughout the USA. She visited our Goodwill three times to assist us in preparing for an accreditation review. She was always cheerful, provided positive and constructive advice in order to be better prepared for the accreditation review. She was a lovely person and will be remembered by many at our Goodwill in Roanoke, VA.

So sorry to hear of Annette's loss. She was a great asset to the Goodwill Community.

I am so sad to learn of her passing, we shared so many stories and life events, we shared the passing of her husband, and she shared the same for me! We planned CARF surveys together to enjoy each others company. She always had a kind, wise caring spirit. She always made me feel better no matter what the situation. She was a friend, a comfidant and someone to depend on when times seemed a little rough. I will miss not sharing time together. I never imagined she was 78! She was always...

Colin and family, I am so sorry for your loss. I know you will be helped with your faith. I am praying for you and your family.

Colin, we are saddened to hear of your mother's death. From the times we met her, and reading her tribute, I can see that her legacy on this earth will live on in your own service and spirit. Praise God for all he has done through her. Our prayers are with you as you grieve.

I was fortunate enough to have spent time with Annette during my time at Goodwill. Her spirit, strength and love of life were nothing short of amazing. I will miss you my friend! My deepest sympathies to Colin, Allen, David and family.
