Annie was a quiet-natured and easy-going person who got along so well with so many people over the years. She worked many years as a shop clerk in “Buddy Guy’s Store” and Way’s Dairy. She was a dedicated member of Calvary Baptist Church, North Sydney, serving with the Lady’s Guild there. She was a proud member of the North Sydney Pensioners’ Club for over 25 years. She was an avid bowler, dart player, and board game enthusiast. She loved baking, serving up countless home-made treats to many appreciative grandchildren and great-grandchildren over the years.
