Life Reflections

Mother Annie was united in Holy Matrimony to the late George Ervin, Sr, in 1980, who preceded her in death.  To this union one child was born.  The early hardship she endured created in her a work ethic that only intensified over the years.  She had many gifts and talents along with the know-how to get things accomplished and managing her own properties as a realtor.
