Jeanne Shank Obituary
She was married to Don McBride from 1975 to 1981 and Charles Shank from 1982 until 2000. She raised a family on Bainbridge Island, WA. There she established Interiors by Annette, a sole-proprietorship that delighted hundreds of customers with professionally made custom slipcovers, draperies, and clothing spanning a forty-year career. In 2001, Annette moved back to Springfield, OR, where she continued to sew for clients throughout the Pacific Northwest.
Annette was a loving and supportive mother, classical pianist, and tennis player. She loved gardening and grew beautiful flowers. She could find humor in any situation. A Francophile at heart, she always wished to visit Provence and speak French with the locals. Annette was a believer in Jesus Christ and looked forward to returning to Him. She will be missed and loved always.
