A funeral is scheduled for Saturday, November 16th at 2:00 PM at Swainsboro First United Methodist Church with visitation Friday November 15th from 6:00–8:00 PM at the funeral home. Rev. Louis Pearce will be officiating the ceremony with Rev. David Unkles and Rev. Jason Thompson assisting. Entombment will follow in Eastbrook Cemetery. Pallbearers are Howie Miller, Seaborn Roberts, Keith Lamb, Don Scott, Butch Anderson, and Bill Giles.

Annette was born June 16, 1927 in Emanuel County to Harvey and Amy Moxley Woods. She graduated from Darien High School in 1944. She married Bernard Scott of Swainsboro in 1951. She and Bernard lived in Brunswick and Swainsboro for several years, settling in Swainsboro in 1960 where she began working for Sears & Roebuck as a sales clerk. After the loss of her first husband in 1970, she married Ray Thompson in 1972. Annette continued to work at Sears & Roebuck and retired from there in 1982, then later worked at Stewart’s Jewelers until retiring fully.

Annette was a member of Calvary Methodist Church of Swainsboro and First Methodist Church of Swainsboro, and she loved her church family. An avid reader, she continued to enjoy her books while at the nursing home.

Family was very important to Annette. She started by raising two precocious boys to young men. After meeting Ray Thompson, they formed a new family. Annette and Ray went on to nurture a second generation with their much-loved grandchildren. Annette was excited last Christmas to meet her new great-grandsons, Ben and Elliott, and to give a hug to her great-granddaughter, Lucy.

In additon to her first and second husbands, Annette was also preceded in death by her son, Jimmy Scott.

Survivors Include her son, Lynn Scott (Margaret) of Melbourne, FL; her daughter–in-law, Teresa Overstreet Miller (Howard) of Swainsboro; three step-children, Bill Thompson (Kim) of Richmond Hill, Roy Thompson (Gail) of Swainsboro, and Keith Thompson (Lynn) of Swainsboro; six grandchildren, Misty Scott Mullis, Becky Len Thompson, Drew Thompson, Shea Thompson, Jason Thompson, and Kal Thompson; 12 great-grandchildren; a number of great-great-grandchildren; nieces, nephews, and extended family.

A special thanks to son and daughter-in-law Roy and Gail Thompson, also to nieces Harriet Scott Lawson and Jan Thompson Palmer. Special thanks to the wonderful caregivers and hospital staff at Emanuel Medical Center Nursing Home for making her happy and comfortable during her stay.
