Annette was born in Swoyersville to the late Joseph and Margaret Dolny Sabol. She graduated from Swoyersville High School and Bradford Beauty Academy.

Annette adored her family and spent most of her time in the stands watching her children and grandchildren play sports. When she was not cheering for her children and grandchildren, she could be found cheering on her beloved Eagles and Phillies, as she was a die-hard fan of both teams. Annette will be remembered for her hearty laugh and storytelling capabilities. She enjoyed spending time with both family and friends.
