Annie Lois Stevens Price

Annie Lois Stevens Price was born Aug 5, 1921 in Cullman Co, AL and died at Springmoor Stewart Health Center Jan 12, 2016. Her parents were Jasper Nathaniel Hartsfield Stevens and Willie Wood Bolt of Randolph Co, AL.

While attending Athens College in AL, a WWII love story that lasted a lifetime began when Annie met cadet Earl Madison Price of Rutherford Co, NC. Earl was attending flight school in nearby Decatur. Annie once ran out of her chemistry lab to see Earl flying aerobatics overhead. Earl would eventually paint the nose of his P-47 with "Miss Annie Lois" and a large 2 of hearts playing card. Annie and Earl were married in Wedowee, AL on June 22, 1946.

Annie studied business in college, graduated in 1944, then worked for the TVA in Knoxville, TN. She completed an MA in Education at Appalachian State at age 57 and was a career teacher working in Gaston and Wake Co, NC schools. Annie set high standards for herself and excelled at whatever she did. Her passion was genealogy research and she was a member of the Caswell-Nash DAR chapter in Raleigh. She was an excellent seamstress, enjoyed bridge clubs wherever she lived, and loved the Wolfpack.

Annie is survived by her four children: Judith Price (Dennis) Jordan of Rock Hill, SC, Emily Price Hungerford of Raleigh, NC, Joe Madison (Jeri) Price of Concord, NC, and John William Price of Gastonia, NC. She is survived by 7 grandchildren: Phillip, Jeffrey, and Steven Jordan, Ginny Brookshire, Jamie Quintana, David Price, and John Hungerford. She is survived by 6 great grandchildren and many nephews and nieces including the beloved Alyce Benefield, of Wedowee, AL.
