Preceding her in death were parents Morris and Mary Berman, sister, Rosalind, and brothers, Leo and Abe.

Annette lived a long and vibrant life. She retired at age 75 from Alfa-Pash, Inc., where she had been a bookkeeper and office manager. Annette had an innate ability to appreciate the blessings and beauty of her world. With her positive and upbeat outlook, she brightened the lives of the many people with whom she came into daily contact, and they in turn brightened hers. Annette prided herself on a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise (she loved brisk walks) and good nutrition. To her grandchildren and great grandchildren, Annette was "Bubba," and they adored her. She was able to remain in her home for her entire life. All of us love her dearly and will miss her immeasurably. Her life is an inspiration and her memory a blessing to us all.
