Annabelle was a member of Bulaville Christian Church and loved to sing hymns. In her time, Granny, as she was fondly known by many, was an avid crafter, rug weaver and was a wonderful cross-stitcher. She loved making things and attending craft shows. With a dimple on her cheek and a gleam in her eye, everyone who knew her enjoyed her quick wit and never ending sayings and quotes. She spent the past 12 plus years in the Jenkins Care Center and became their "Granny". She was loved by all the staff.

Funeral services will be 2:00 PM Sunday August 5, 2018 at the Waugh-Halley-Wood Funeral Home with Pastor Bob Hood officiating. Burial will follow in Vinton Memorial Park. Friends may call at the funeral home on Sunday one hour prior to services.
