Annette "Annie" Eve Ellsworth

Born on January 24, 1940, Annie was the daughter of Ernest Barnes and Jeanette Barnes (Buerkle). She will be remembered for the life she shared with her family, the friendships she cherished, and the many memories she created throughout her years.

She is survived by her beloved husband, Harold, and her children, Scott (Janet) Ellsworth and Julie Ellsworth, as well as her sister-in-law Elaine Mason. She was a proud grandmother to Stephen, Jamie, Neal (Jackie), Nicole (Alyssa), Matthew (Rachel), and Becky (Dave). Her family continued to grow with her great-grandchildren, Ashley (Eddie), Alyssa (Michael), Clara, and Jacob, and her great-great-grandchild, Hendrix, who brought another special generation of love to her family.

Annie also leaves behind her dear best friend, Mary Krause affectionately known as “Boo Boo,” whose friendship held a special place in her life.

Throughout the years, Annie enjoyed the simple pleasures that made life memorable. She loved playing bingo and especially enjoyed taking trips to Canada to play. She and Harold shared a love of traveling and treasured their trips together, particularly their family vacations to Fort Myers, Florida, where they made lasting memories with those they loved.

Annie spent many years working as a waitress at My Granny’s Restaurant and Clock Restaurant. Through her years of hard work and dedication, she became part of the everyday lives and memories of those she served and worked alongside.

Above all, Annie’s family was an important part of her life. From her husband and children to her grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-great-grandchildren, she leaves behind a family whose lives and memories are forever connected to hers. The time spent together, the trips shared, and the moments both big and small will be treasured for years to come.

Annie will be deeply missed by her loving husband, her family, her best friend, and all who knew her. Though she may be gone from their sight, the love she gave and the memories she created will continue to live on through the generations of family and friends who hold her dear.

Annie was preceded in death by her parents, Ernest and Jeanette Barnes; her brothers, Ernest Barnes and David Barnes; and her beloved dog, Minnie, who passed away last year and held a special place in her heart.
