Annelda loved her family dearly. She loved driving a school bus and treated all the children throughout the years as if they were her own. Some of her greatest joys in her life were simply being with her family spending as much time as she could with them as possible. The 2 biggest joys beyond that were her 2 beautiful granddaughters. She lived life through her Christian Faith and professed it publicly through Baptism on 11/7/2020. She absolutely loved Jesus with all her heart. She will be missed by all her family and friends.
