Annette graduated Valedictorian from Milton High School in 1958. She earned a Bachelor of Science Degree in Home Economics, Foodservice Systems Management, with High Distinction from the University of Southwestern Louisiana in 1961. She earned a Master of Science in Institutional Management from Louisiana Tech University in Ruston, LA in 1976 with a 4.0 GPA. She was the Director of Food Services at Abbeville General Hospital from 1961 until her retirement in 2013. In addition to serving as the Director of Food Services at Abbeville General Hospital, Annette was an Instructor in Louisiana Tech University’s Coordinated Program in Dietetics from 1980 through 1985. From an early age, Annette strived to do her best in everything. She excelled at all levels of her education and career but her family was always the most important thing to her. She was a loving wife and true partner in life to Roger for over 62 years and a wonderful role model for her daughters. Annette was a smart, strong, accomplished, selfless, and incredibly principled woman. Her greatest joy in life came from spending time with her four grandsons. Their beloved “MaMa” was their biggest, and at times, their loudest fan. She made sure she was there for every birthday party or school celebration. She was also there to cheer them on at martial arts tournaments and countless baseball, football, basketball, and soccer games. We all feel incredibly lucky to have had her in our lives and we will miss her more than we can imagine. Hers is the voice in our heads that encourages us to be the best versions of ourselves.
