Annie was born and raised in Hurdland, MO. and surrendered her life to the Lord at the Church of the Nazarene. Annie later moved to Kirksville, MO where she made her home and worked most of her life in the community. She was a fun loving woman with a zest for life that was infectious to all who knew her. That life became further enriched on April 14th ,1996 when she married the love of her life, Larry E. Guffey. The couple made their home on a farm near Green City, MO where she remained the rest of her days here on earth.
Annie loved her country life and spent much of it outdoors in their special garden nook. Many happy hours were spent there cooking out, listening to music favorites, and simply watching the sun go down upon their own personal piece of the world.
Annie loved to read, was an avid Cardinals fan, and was ever pursuant of a bargain during yard sale season. This included a quick stop at Arbys for her favorite roast beef classic. She also enjoyed spending time with her grandchildren and visiting with friends. She was a friend to so many, yet always took time to lend an ear or offer a needed prayer. She was fiercely protective of those she loved and stood strong in all she believed in.
