Annie grew up on a farm and at age 15, she married the love of her life, Weldon Nance. She worked in the sewing room and on the family farm.  Annie loved God, the church and her family dearly. Cooking for her family and spending time with her grandchildren were the highlight of her life. She always made sure she had a pan of biscuits prepared for anytime they came for a visit. Annie loved to shop and her Oil of Olay products. Christmas was her favorite holiday and she would fill the house with decorations.  Annie has moved on to her eternal home, but her legacy of love and generosity will live on in the hearts of her family.
