Annette is further survived by her sisters, Barbara Orrell, Karon Cheatwood and her husband, Lonnie, and Guyla Jackson, as well as a host of nieces, nephews, cousins and friends who will miss her dearly.

A viewing will be held from 4-8 p.m. Tuesday, January 28, 2025, at Integrity Funeral Service. Funeral services are scheduled for 2 p.m. Wednesday, January 29, 2025, at Integrity Chapel, with Rev.
