Annette Cordle

Annette Cordle, beloved mother, grandmother, and friend, passed away on Wednesday, December 17, 2025. She lived a long life marked by kindness, devotion, and love.

Born on November 19, 1933, in Coffee County, Alabama, she grew up with a deep appreciation for family and community. Throughout her life, she found joy in cooking and baking, always eager to make a meal for her family or take a meal to those in need. Her kitchen was a place of warmth, where recipes became traditions and meals became cherished memories.

She was a devoted member of the sewing ministry at her church, dedicating countless hours to serving others through her talents. Her faith was central to her life, and she lived it out consistently through her acts of compassion and service.

Above all, she loved her family. Taking care of others is what she felt called to do, and she did it so well throughout her life. She was a source of strength, wisdom, and unconditional love, and her presence will be deeply missed by all who knew her.

She is survived by her son, Herbie (Alice) Cordle; grandchildren, Chris (Deb) Cordle, Tara (Joey) Fulmer, Callie (Corey) Johnson, Joe (Kaci) Johnston, Jennifer Johnston; great-grandchildren, Cooper (Macey) Cordle, Conner Cordle, Ava, Olivia and Joseph Fulmer, Ansley and Grant Johnson, Halee and Bryant Johnston; great-great-granddaughter, Collins Cordle; sister-in-law, Gwen Martin; nieces, Kim Martin, Keri (Danny) Turner; nephews, Daniel (Samantha) Martin, Jordan (Khaylee) Turner, and Christian (Kendra) Turner.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Herbert Cordle; her parents, Ray and Callie Mae Martin; and her brother, Walter Martin.
