Annie worked in the medical field for many years before turning her talents towards the nail profession, and it was a career choice she loved. She also loved the outdoors. When she wasn't fishing with Bill in Kentucky, she was eagle watching with her best friend, Nancy King. Annie had a big heart when it came to animals. Her dog, Weezie and cats Luther, Simba and Baby Girl meant the world to her. Annie was a familiar face amongst the Pekin billiard crowd having been a league player for over 30 years. She loved NASCAR, trips to Las Vegas and Life. She will be missed by many.
Deiters Funeral Home & Crematory, East Peoria is assisting the family with cremation arrangements. It was Annie's wish to have a private ceremony. Instead of tears she wanted a Celebration of Life, which will be held at a later date.
