After retiring they moved to Salem Oregon in 1992.

As a childrens Librarian at Rowe Library for 8 years, Storytime was an adventure for all. She was President of the Public Library Association, and was awarded the achievement of the year.

After Bills death in 2001, Annette found the Contemporary Choir and the Adult Choir of Queen of Peace. She used her library experience to become a “Storyteller and More” at Queen of Peace and Parrish middle School. The children gave as much happiness to her as she gave to them.
