Annette was united in marriage to the love of her life, Leslie L. Perry “Bud” on Oct. 6, 1956, Springfield, MO. To this union, they were blessed with three children, Ricky, Michael & Jacqueline. She was a stay-at-home mom and bookkeeper for their shop, Bud’s Tire & Wheel. She was a long-time member of Elwood AG, Elwood, MO. and Calvery Temple AG, Springfield, MO. Where she made many cherished-lifelong friendships, especially at her Tuesday morning, CT Ladies Prayer Group. She enjoyed scrapbooking and tending to her flowers & plants. She had a passion for hand quilting and made hundreds of baby and lap quilts to give to family, friends and numerous charities including Shriners Hospitals, Isabel’s House and the Pregnancy Care Center. Her kindness, compassionate spirit and sweet smile, will be greatly missed.
