Annette nurtured and loved her three children, Candace Veney-Chaplin (Christopher) of Richmond, Harry E. Veney, Jr. (Olympia) of Front Royal and Jessica Veney of Richmond. She cherished her five grandchildren: Brooke Slye, Ariel Veney, Jacob Chaplin, Sheridan Chaplin and Jayden Whitehead.

She thought the world of her nieces, nephews, cousins and extended family and she considered her church family and pastor her true brothers and sisters in Christ. She was held in high esteem and will be missed by many.

Annette was a virtuous woman, committed to embodying christian ethics in her daily life. She volunteered her time at community events, such as the annual Back to School Bash and the Thanksgiving Celebrations at the American Legion. As a woman of faith, she lived her life to serve the Lord and be an example to the world, graciously encouraging others toward salvation. Even in the midst of pain and strife, she raised her hands in anointed praise.
