She was the eighth of nine children. Her brothers Wilbur, Clifton, Terrell and one sister Vera Green Triplett all preceded her in going home to be with the Lord. Annie moved to Chicago in the 1940’s, where she completed her formal education at McKinley High School. Annie worked at Mount Sinai Hospital and also Dearborn Glass Company.
