ANNIE HALE Obituary
Annie was born in Prince Rupert, British Columbia on August 28, 1921 to Albert and Mary Craggs.
Annie is survived by her loving and supportive husband, Henry, and daughter Elaine (Dan) Scott, and sons Robert (April), Gordon (Patty) and Bruce (Hope Haugen) Hale as well as seven grandchildren: Craig (Emily) Scott, Geneva, Devon, Laurissa, Jennifer, Preston and Stefanie Hale as well as her brother Fred (Jan) Craggs.
Annie, grew up on the plains of Saskatchewan in Regina. She met Henry who was stationed with the British Royal Air Force (R.A.F.) at a nearby air base. They met when he was invited to dinner on Christmas Day 1940, then became engaged on Christmas Day 1941 and was married on Christmas Day 1942 in Regina, all scheduled around his R.A.F. leaves.
Annie moved to Britain during World War II and then Annie and Henry emigrated to the Seattle area after the war. They became proud American citizens in 1954.
They raised their four children in the Mukilteo area and later moved to Camano Island after retiring. They celebrated their 65th anniversary this past year.
Annie was a school secretary with the Mukilteo School District for 20 years where she started as secretary at Fairmount Elementary. She opened both Explorer School (K-8) and Mukilteo Elementary. She was also a member of TOPS International for over 20 years.
Annie was tended with loving care by her husband for the past few years. She will be greatly missed by her family.

A memorial service will be held on Sunday, June 8 at 2:00 at the Stanwood Senior Center, 7430 276th Street NW, Stanwood.

Many years ago,when I was hired at Fairmount Elementary as a school secretary, my good fortune was to have Annie as one of my mentors. She was delightful and VERY forgiving of my overwhelming feelings of the many hats I would learn to wear. Truly, a Saint with a sense of humor. To your family, I say thanks, for sharing a part of Annie with me so I could learn and do it right!

I was fortunate to work with Annie in the Mukilteo School District and to meet Harry who helped me finish off my garage in Edmonds. Love you both.
I offer my sympathy in this sad time
