Annie was graduate of Clinton High School. She was also a member of Bellview Baptist Church. Those who knew her best knew that she loved to love and to be loved. Annie’s heart was big, and it was soft, and she was one of the best unsung comedians we knew. Her laughter was infectious and unbridled. She laughed like people danced when no one was watching, and she had a special heart for the weak and marginalized. We all loved her because she was one of those beautiful people you must love. Annie also had struggles, she battled depression and sought respite in the form of street drugs. God gave her to all of us as a wonderful gift whose legacy will be to cherish and respect life and time.

Annie is survived by her adoptive parents who are also her grandparents, David and Shirley Walker and her Aunt Casi Walker, who was much more like a sister to her.
