Betty was born in Grand Rapids, Michigan and was the daughter of the late George Brocker and Mildred Brocker (Haywood). She graduated from Lee High School in 1953. On July 30, 1956, Betty married the love of her life, Paul T. Annulis and began her life as a proud military spouse.
As a military wife, she personified “service before self.” Everywhere she went, Betty made a home for her children, and never met a stranger. Betty was proud of her husband’s service and together they passed their love of service to their children and grandchildren. Not only was she a beloved mother and grandmother, she had a strong faith for the Lord. There was not a bake sale or fundraiser she could not organize for the Women’s Guild. Betty enjoyed the simple pleasures, visiting with family, baking, sewing, crafting, attending daily mass, and playing bingo.
Paul and Betty enjoyed square dancing. Until we meet again, dance away in Heaven. Always supportive and encouraging, she will be missed by her family and friends.
She is survived by her children Ron (Cathy) Annulis of Orlando, Fl., Christopher Annulis of Columbia, Tennessee, Robin Lemay (Ricky) of Columbia, Tennessee, Keith (Heather) Annulis of Pass Christian, Mississippi, Patrick (Phebe) Annulis of New Iberia, Louisiana; daughter-n-law, Teresa Annulis of Titusville, Florida; grandchildren, Markus Annulis, Caitlin Scroggins, Clint Scroggins, Paul A. Annulis, Cody Scroggins, John Z. Annulis, Zoie Annulis, Cambre Catherine Annulis, and Patrick Z. Annulis; great - grandchild, Mark R. Annulis.
She is preceded in death by her beloved husband, Paul T. Annulis; Sons, John J. Annulis (Valerie), Mark D. Annulis(Teresa); grandchild, Ian C. Jones; her parents George Brocker and Mildred Brocker (Haywood); siblings, sister Shirley Pinaud (Brocker) and three brothers Don, Dale, and Bud Brocker.
A mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated for Betty at a later date at St. Francis of Assisi Church in Franklin, North Carolina and will be laid to rest in the Woodlawn Cemetery.
