Annette Sims

Annette Sims, born June 28, 1967, in Chicago, IL, was a radiant beam of compassion and generosity, a beacon of empathy that shone upon all who had the privilege of knowing her. Annette was a woman of undeniable strength and boundless love, always extending a helping hand to those in need. Her thoughtful nature was evident in her actions, as she would open her home to anyone seeking shelter, regardless of the size of her dwelling. Annette's generosity knew no bounds; she would feed anyone who was hungry, demonstrating an unyielding empathy for others. 

For the past two years, Annette resided in New Albany, Indiana, where she continued to touch lives with her warmth and generosity. Married to Henry Sims since March 7, 2018, Annette's love story was one of deep affection and unwavering commitment. While she was not employed, Annette devoted her time and energy to what mattered most to her - her grandchildren. Her love for her grandchildren was unmistakable, her eyes lighting up with joy and pride every time she spoke of them. Annette was a woman whose heart was filled with love, and she freely shared this love with her family and her community.

Annette leaves behind a legacy of love and compassion, surviving by her husband Henry Sims, children Tamica Webster-Griffin, Patrice Webster, Buster Webster, Keshia Webster, Julius Webster, Donnette Watkins, twenty-eight grandchildren, and six great grandchildren. She is reunited with her parents, Minyon McClure and Lestein Webster, who preceded her in death. Annette's life was a testament to the power of love and kindness. She was a woman of integrity, honesty, and resilience, teaching us all to live life with empathy and generosity.
