She was born December 8, 1975. As a child, Annie attended numerous primary and middle schools throughout Kansas, graduating high school from Independence, KS. After high school Annie went on to pursue her love of music at Baker University.
Annie's love for music started when she was enrolled at the age two in the Suzuki Violin Education Program, "The Topeka String Project". As a young girl, Annie loved performing and playing in the Stockton family band "Theophany", traveling from the Midwest to the East Coast during the summers playing at churches and town festivals. This passion for music led her to earning a BA degree from Baker University in Music Performance. While her primary instrument was the violin, Annie also played the
clarinet and trumpet as a member of her high school orchestra and marching band, performing in numerous local events and competitions. Annie was able to use her talents in music as a church choir director and most recently as Assistant Manager for Manning Music where she impacted the lives of many through her love of music. Her customers continually commented on her cheerful disposition, knowledge of music and her ability to keep their instruments playing … truly Annie's dream job!!
Throughout her life Annie was extremely active in the United Methodist Church Youth and Adult Programs. As a youth she helped plan United Nations (U.N.) / District of Columbia (D.C.) and Holy Lands youth tours for the Kansas East Conference Youth. She attended numerous mission trips including working the summer after high school, at a Presbyterian Church Camp, Montreat, in Ashville, North Carolina.
Annie was truly a good-hearted and God centered person who was always willing to stop what she was doing to help another in need. Her smile was powerful and the empathy she shared was overwhelming.
She is survived by her parents; Son, Sisters and a longtime companion. She is also survived by nieces and nephews. She also leaves behind her beloved fur babies: Lady, Cocoa and Buddy.
Rest peacefully with the Angels our sweet Annie … we love you, miss you and will see you soon!
