Annette was known for her calm demeanor, and great advice. Her presence alone could bring you comfort on a rough day. She always enjoyed the little things. Annette loved spending time with her family and friends any chance she could get. She enjoyed summers at the family cottage and boating on Lake Ontario. Nothing could compare to being “Mimi”. Her grand babies were the lights of her life.

Like many others, cancer has changed our lives in the blink of an eye. It does not discriminate; it does not care if it takes the life of someone you love. Although this disease became a part of who she was, she faced the reality of it all with such dignity and grace. What an honor it was to be a part of her beautiful life.

The family would like to extend their gratitude to the Hospice of Jefferson County, where donations in her memory may be made to 1398 Gotham St., Watertown, NY 13601.
