Annie loved spending time with her family as much as she could and when she wasn’t somewhere fishing you could always count on her to be at any family event. She was a faithful Dallas Cowboys fan and would not miss watching a game. She was small in stature, but she was a giant in her family. Her presence will truly be missed.
