She loved to tell how many grand and great-grandchildren she had. Nanny loved to cook, but she was most famous for her hot rolls. She laughingly said that sewing was her vice because it was calming and relaxing. Over the years, Nanny sewed and crocheted dozens of quilts. She was employed by Ector County Independent School District as a bus driver from 1970 to 1985. Annie was very fond of the students she carried to school each day and told many stories about them.
