Annie was born on May 16, 1921 in Streetman, Texas to Will and Kioda Radford. She was one of thirteen children born to this union and she was definitely a “Daddy’s Girl”. She was heralded as a tremendous basketball player and track star for Currie High School in Currie Texas.
She accepted Christ at an early age and was baptized in a tank at Carroll Chapel AME Church. She became a devoted member of Progressive COGIC in Denver, CO for 50+ years where she served the Lord until her passing.
After high school she worked for the Department of Defense in Carlsbad, New Mexico. She later moved to Denver, Colorado and worked at Fitz-Simmons Army Hospital as a food service worker; there she met and married Issiah Trotty. They were married for over 50 years until his passing. To this union no children were born. Annie retired from Fitz-Simmons after 50 years of faithful service.
Annie enjoyed fishing, church activities and traveling to visit all of her friends and relatives. Annie loved to laugh and was quite a jokester.
Annie was preceded in death by her parents, 5 brothers and 5 sisters, and her husband. Those left to cherish precious memories include one sister Virdie Davis of Corsicanna, Texas, one brother, Aaron (Louise) Radford of Austin, Texas, a devoted niece/care-taker Stormi Lawson, and a host of other nieces and nephews, family members and friends.
