Annette Katherine Brier

She leaves behind a legacy of love through her children--Steve (Gina), David (Judy), Michael (Carrie) and Patricia (John) Wadzinski; her cherished grandchildren---Christie, Jennie, Steve, Francine and Brandon; and 10 great-grandchildren who brough her endless joy. Annette's circle of family and friends was wide, and each one was touched by her warmth and generosity.

A true adventurer at heart, Annette and Don treasured their winters in Arizona, where they built memories filled with sunshine and laughter. At home, she delighted in games of bingo, cards, and any board game that brought people together. Her famous banana bread became a family tradition--every Christmas, she gifted loaves baked with love, a simple but unforgettable reminder of her care.

Annette's life was defined by kindness, connection and a spirit of fun. She had a way of making everyone feel welcome, whether around the card table or at her kitchen counter.

The family extends heartfelt gratitude to the compassionate care team at Oak Meadows. Your dedication and tenderness made Annette's final chapter one of comfort and dignity.
