On the evening of September 9, 2020, Annette Thompson of Safford, AZ, peacefully passed
away in Tucson, AZ, at the age of 79.
Annette was born to Howard and Gayla Burrows in Michigan in 1941. She married the love of her life, Robert Thompson, in April of 1969. Together they raised their 3 daughters, Michelle, Heather, and Emily. Throughout the years she took under her wings numerous “adopted kids” too, but it would be impossible to name you all.
In addition to her devotion as a wife, mother, and committed Christian, over many years, she loved
and raised Arabian horses along with serving the Lord in women’s ministries, prison ministries,
and youth/children ministries. She was an incredibly loving, caring and compassionate woman
who was also sassy and tough when needed.

Heather Thompson and Chuck Criswell, and Emily Thompson and Brent White; her
grandchildren, Brooke, Logan, Malachi, Sydney, Jessica, Blake, Matthew, Dillon, Charles,
Jaysen, Dakota and great-grandchild Devon; her sister Vici Burrows; and several cousins,
nieces, and nephews. Over the years there have been so many individuals whose lives she
