A Bright and Loving Spirit
Born on April 6, 2014, Annabelle filled her 11 years with laughter, curiosity, and compassion. She had a quick wit and a radiant smile that could light up any room. Known for her cowgirl boots, love of animals (especially highland cows), babies, and all things Lilo & Stitch, she embodied both sparkle and country charm.
She enjoyed watching Young Sheldon and Adam Sandler movies, and she found comfort in listening to Morgan Wallen’s music. Her passions extended to sports, where she thrived in soccer and softball, forming strong bonds with teammates and building friendships that meant the world to her.
Anchored in Faith and Family
Annabelle’s life was deeply rooted in her faith, her church, and her family. Her parents were her greatest joy, and she extended her love generously to her cousins, grandparents, and friends. She was known for her kindness, thoughtfulness, and eagerness to help others—always quick to share a laugh or brighten someone’s day.
Her family remembers her as a child filled with boundless love, creativity, and devotion. Though her journey was far too brief, the depth of her impact continues to resonate with everyone who had the privilege of knowing her.
Loved Ones She Joins in Heaven
Annabelle is preceded in death by her paternal grandmother, Sandra Miller, her paternal grandfather, Marty Moore, and her great-grandparents Carley G. & Myrtha Fouraker and Dennis Wray Elliott.
While her absence leaves a tremendous void, her memory will live on as a shining light—irreplaceable, unforgettable, and deeply loved.
A Legacy of Light
A scripture that held special meaning to Annabelle reflects the faith she carried in her heart:
“I will rise now, and go about the city in the streets, and in broad ways I will seek Him whom my soul loveth.”
As family, friends, and neighbors come together to mourn, they also celebrate the beautiful life Annabelle lived. Though her time on earth was tragically short, her spirit, laughter, and love will never be forgotten.
May she rest in eternal peace, her memory forever cherished by all who knew and loved her.
