"She is always in our hearts..."

We all miss you, but we are consoled by memories of our time together and the positive impact you had on every life you touched. On this site, we'll share pictures and memories and do our best to keep the best part of you alive.

Reflections and Eulogies
We never had the opportunity to honor you because you felt that funerals were "barbaric" and only caused sadness to those left behind. However, we honor you everyday in our hearts and minds and remember the wonderful woman that you were in every way.

Annie was definately a "people person". She made porcelain dolls and gave them to people who could not afford them otherwise. She very seldom made any money on her beautiful work and was very proud of that. We will continue that tradition, as well as selling the babies that are left to be made from scratch, and with the pride and workmanship that she had started. She made the clothing as well as the dolls, and her perfection was unsurpassed.

Gifts and Donations
We would like to continue Annie's donations of porcelain dolls to needy persons, not necessarily just children. Donations to this endevor will be appreciated and acknowledged, and suggestions of names of people who are in need of this wonderful legacy should be left here for us to see and try to help. By the time the obituary was printed in the paper, she had already been gone for almost 6 weeks, so there was no way to let people know anything about what had happened. We would like to continue her legacy, so please leave names of persons who would benefit from this and any donations to help defray the cost of the dolls would be appreciated as well. THANK YOU

Cards can be sent to 4229 W. Eisenhower, Loveland  CO  80537 c/o Jolene Scheid. Due to the absence of insurance, donations to help alleviate her husbands financial crisis can be sent to the above address. Her death was unexpected and untimely and Larry is in jeopardy of loosing their home and is trying to pay for the final arrangements for her, as well. Please indicate family or friend when making a contribution and what it is for. We will acknowledge these as soon as possible.  THANK YOU, and GOD BLESS YOU ALL.

In love with all of her grandchildren, Annie held onto life as long as she could just to see all the babies born that she could. There may not be many more left to be born, but she touched all of the lives of the little ones as "GG", a title she gave herself as Great Grandma. David, Stevie, Dilynn, Kaylene, Logan and Annastene all loved and knew their "GG". There are so many more that we don't know the names of, but they were loved by their Great Grandmother. Someday, I hope that they will all know that.

Annie left us on July 19, 2005.

Her husband Larry and her children, Jolene & Glenn, Nita, Katie,  JJ , Ed and John will miss her always. Kids not born to Annie but loved by her, Brad and Ed are acknowledged here because she truly loved them.
Her Grandchildren, Rachael, Jerry, Jennifer, Nick, Amy, Sonya, Sara, Autume, Justin, Angela and Martin had her in their lives until they were all grown with (most of them) children of their own. Justin will be the next one to produce a great grandchild, and we will all make sure the baby knows who "GG" was.
