Annette Zawodni Gillman passed peacefully on Saturday, May 23, 2020 surrounded by her loving family. She was born in Toledo, Ohio to Angeline (Russett) and Leo Zawodni, Sr. She attended St. Anne's Catholic School and Macomber/Whitney High School, graduating in 1953. After graduation she was employed by Ohio Bell.

Annette met the love of her life, George Gillman, and they were married three weeks later on September 17th 1956 in Angola, Indiana. From this bond, George and Annette had three daughters, Chris, Sue and Michele. George preceded her in death on November 11, 1992.

Annette was active for many years in the Twins Club, Millbury Firemaids, bowling and over 50 years in her Bunco club. She loved to play euchre and enjoyed traveling. She was a regular at McDonalds for morning coffee. Annette enjoyed cake decorating and made many cakes for special occasions. She was known as "Mrs. G" as a Lake Local Schools bus driver and "Grandma G" while attending all her grandchildren's sports and school events.
