Born in New York she was a lively youth despite her disability. She was always one quick to make friends and brighten up a room. There was no one more important to her than her daughter Amanda, who she went against all odds to give birth to and bring into this world. Annette enjoyed anything spooky and one of her all-time favorite movies was the Nightmare before Christmas. She loved true crime shows, mysteries and playing video games. She was born Catholic but found her love in the Wiccan belief. Loving all things nature, especially butterflies.
Annette found passion and purpose in helping others while at the adult care facility. She had become Resident Council President at her previous facility and part of the ombudsman program in order to speak up and help those who no longer had the ability to do so themselves. Along the way she created a lifelong friend in Wilma Forrester who she shared many joyous moments with.
Though she was taken from us too soon, the joy and laughter she brought into this world will live on within everyone she met along the way.
Survived by her daughter Amanda Caudle.
