Annie Lou was a tiny force of nature. She was independent, strong willed, persistent, and caring. She weathered many trials throughout her life. She was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother. She did everything for family. Her son Morris had an accident leaving him paralyzed and Annie worked and cared for him throughout the rest of his life. She even changed careers from GE to working as a CNA at Hillview NHC to gain more skills to better care for her son. Before his accident Annie and her son shared a passion in raising Boston Terriers. She always had a special love for dogs, especially Spot. Annie is well loved and will be dearly missed by all who knew her.
