She was born on December 18, 1937, in Union County Arkansas to the late Roy and Annie Lee (Sellers) Smith.
Annette worked two full-time jobs as a PBX operator for the State Hospital and Children's Hospital. She loved fishing, her grandchildren, and helping others. She lived a life of selflessness. Whether that was fixing meals for neighbors, driving friends to appointments, working double shifts to provide for her boys, or just phone calls to check on people. She always put herself last. She also made the best cornbread(no sugar), coconut, pecan and chocolate pies. She was a follower of Jesus and though going to church had become difficult, she continued to read the word and listen to sermons on TV.
Preceded in death by her parents as well as her daughter in law, Tamara Pinkerton, she is survived by her sons, Greg Pinkerton, Mark Pinkerton and Chad Pinkerton, two grandchildren, Celeste and Jon Marc Pinkerton and two brothers James Smith and Charles “Pete” Smith.
