She also worked at the election commission office and with Dr’s Foster and Steele Optometrists for 14 years and officially named Dr Steele’s “East Tennessee Mom.” Retiring in 2008 to care for her mother, Annette kept very busy and in touch with a large circle of family and friends. She loved to travel, seeing large parts of the Carribean, the Mediterranean, Europe and more.

She is survived by the family traditions that bind us, including a love of food and cooking, travel, and cheering for the Tennessee Volunteers. This is a big loss to Cocke County but a tremendous gain to our Lord’s household. A Celebration of Life will be held Saturday January 15th, 2022 in Manes Funeral Home Chapel.
