Their first home was the Thone School in Herman, where they remodeled and added an addition to it. To this union they were blessed with four children. Annette had many different jobs but being a wife and mother was the one she valued most. Annette and Bill enjoyed camping and traveling across the United States. Branson, Missouri and the mountains were favorites, with family trips to Branson being the most cherished of all. Her greatest joys were her children, 17 grandchildren and 13 great grandchildren. Annette enjoyed decorating cakes, crocheting, ceramics, sewing, cooking and spending time with family.
