She was born August 3, 1943 in Pender County, the daughter of James Oscar Lewis and Lillie Norris Lewis. In addition to her parents, Annie was preceded in death by her daughter, Debra Blanton and sisters, Martha Lou Deal and Lillie Earl "Sue" Faircloth.

Not to be forgotten was her fur baby and constant companion, Clowie.

Annie was a lifelong loving lady who enjoyed nothing more than spending time with her beloved family. In her younger years she enjoyed dipping her hook in the water and catching a fish. Annie was proficient with needle work, often making quilts and sharing them with family. She was a joy to know and will be greatly missed.
