She also served as volunteer Music Minister and Deacon at Hunton Baptist Church in Glen Allen, VA. She grew up in Tucker Swamp Baptist Church in Zuni, VA.

The family would like to thank the nurses, caregivers, and doctors at Franklin Woods Hospital for the exceptional care and compassion they gave to Annie during her final days.
It was Annie's special request to put the next statements in her own words: "Thanks and love to my sweet twin sister Linda Bowery; thanks to my special niece Amy Bowery Adkins, who took care of me and met all my needs; thanks to my great and wonderful neighbors Charles and Barbara Wilson; and above all, thanks to my Heavenly Father who loved, gave himself, and died for me."
