Annette Hope Gothard joined the Kingdom of Heaven on the morning of Aug. 17, 2008, due to complications of liver disease. She was born on Dec. 26, 1960, in Palm Springs, Calif., to Elwood and Eva Prettyman.
The first miracle in Annie's life began in 1977, when the "Apple of Her Eye," her son Christopher, was born. Being the adventurous person that she was, she always followed her heart in everything she did and everywhere she went. Annie was a woman of many trades, ranging from being a mother, waitress, chef, retail manager and even a commercial truck driver.
Those who knew Annie know that she was bigger than life itself, always the one with a positive perspective and caring attitude no matter what the challenge. Annie gave fully of herself to others, rarely expecting a thing in return. She rejoiced in seeing anyone smile and found happiness in the things that she could do for them. Her free-spirited humbleness set an example for many.
She was a member of the Women's Auxiliary VFW 903, and took great pride and pleasure in fundraising and helping to support their causes. She also belonged to the Women's Home League of the Salvation Army Church and thoroughly enjoyed her meetings and outings with the ladies.
She is survived by her son, Christopher; daughter-in-law, Jillian; siblings, Pamela Magdanz, Richard Prettyman, Steven Wynne, and Caroline Poggi; and numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins.
She is preceded in death by both parents; and siblings, Lynda Kurtze and Don Jo Wynne.
As Annie would say, "May Jesus bless you and the peace and grace of the Lord be with you always."
Interment will follow in Sunset Hills Cemetery.
