She volunteered at the girls’ school, was active in the PTO, served as a Girl Scout Leader, and supported all the girls’ activities. Annie enjoyed art, music, holidays, travelling, watching movies, attending Camp Wapsie, as well as doing projects and activities, always doing something creative in her own unique way. Annie had a special place in her heart for her dogs, Oscar, Mojo, Chester, and Oswald; but ultimately, Annie’s greatest pleasure was spending time with her girls.

Maggie Gill and Michael Stefanik; grandfather, Dr. Raymond D. Gill; grandmother, Janet White Cramer; and numerous aunts, uncles and cousins. She was preceded in death by her grandmother, Jeanette M.
