It is with deep love and sadness that we announce the passing of Annie Benjamin on September 11, 2025.
Annie’s life was one of love, resilience, and devotion to her family. She was predeceased by her beloved husband, Jack, with whom she shared 60 wonderful years of marriage, and by her cherished daughter, Corrina.
We take comfort in knowing that Annie is now reunited with them.
She will be deeply missed by her six children: Doris (Denny), Jean (Paul), Susan (Mike), John (Elly), Dean (Larisha), and Bill (Tammy). Annie was a loving grandmother to April, Tracy, Amanda, Jonathan, Michelle, Michael, Justin, Robert, Jake, Shannon, and Scout, and a proud great-grandmother and great-great-grandmother to many more. Her family was her greatest joy, and each of them carries forward a part of her enduring love.
Annie created a home filled with warmth, laughter, and care — a haven where everyone felt welcome and loved. Whether gathered around the table, celebrating holidays, or sharing simple everyday moments,
her presence brought light and comfort to all who knew her.
Her lessons of unconditional love, strength through challenges, and devotion to family will remain an everlasting gift to those she leaves behind.
Annie’s spirit lives on in the stories shared, the traditions continued, and the love passed on through generations.
She will be remembered always with love and gratitude.
Rest peacefully, Mom. You will forever remain in our hearts.
