Annette Marie Henkes Naiser

She grew up on a share-cropping farm in El Maton, Texas along with 2 brothers and 6 sisters, where cotton picking was the main chore. As a young girl, Annette, along with her siblings, labored side by side as they talked about dancing with friends, and who picked the most cotton.

Annette’s greatest love and best friend was her husband, Jimmie, who passed away in September 2025. They were married for 63 years and partnered in every endeavor whether it be the family businesses, weekend trips to Louisiana casinos, drag races, grandchildren events, family visits to El Campo and Bay City, and church.

Annette was extremely proud of her family. When she was able, her favorite times were making chicken and dumplings, fried chicken, and all the sides. Her Dutch apple pie could have been a blue ribbon winner!
