Jolley was the perfect namesake for Annette, her joyful love for God and family is the testament of a life well lived.

The journey she traveled touched so many lives because she never met a stranger. Anyone and everyone was welcomed into her home with an inviting smile and a compassionate heart.

She thoroughly enjoyed traveling, especially visiting the state capitals, amazingly she saw all but the tropical state of Hawaii.
