Annette was born on August 1, 1937, in Saline, Louisiana, to Garland and Adeline Williams. She passed away peacefully on Friday, June 27, 2025, in Shreveport, Louisiana.

She was preceded in death by her parents; her brother, Billy Williams; and her sister, Carolyn Dejean.

Affectionately known as "Nanny," Annette was an avid gardener, artistic, family-focused, and a pillar of her community. A longstanding member of First Baptist Church of Mansfield, her kind and giving spirit extended to her work as a leader in Eastern Star and her annual support of Operation Christmas Child. Her life was guided by the values she held dear: Be wise, be kind, be loved, and be humble.

Serving as pallbearers will be her grandsons. Honorary pallbearers are Bryce Travis and John David Goodeaux.
