Annette graduated from Jeremiah Burke High School. She worked as a bookkeeper, office manager and an unemployment dispute mediator. Annette lived life to the fullest during her many years with Richard, traveling Europe extensively and living in Hawaii, Florida and Massachusetts. Annette loved jazz music (especially performed by Richard), ballroom dancing and was an avid player of Mah Jong, Canasta and Bridge to keep her mind sharp. Her greatest loves however were doting on her 3 adorable grandchildren, her fuzzy grand dog and most of all, her beloved son.

She did it all and would tell you she had no complaints!
