Annie Mae, a beloved wife, daughter, sister, and aunt, she will best be remembered as a devoted and loving mother to her only son, Nick. After Curley passed away in 2009, Annie continued to maintain a caring and comfortable home for Nick.

Annie Mae was originally from the southside of Chicago, and she and Curley enjoyed describing their mutual love of jazz, how much they enjoyed the city’s nightlife in the 1950s and 60s and the celebrities they had seen perform including Billie Holiday, Dinah Washington, and Charlie Parker.

In 1974, Annie Mae, Curley and Nicholas came to Denver. Annie Mae transferred from Chicago to the Denver office of the Railroad Retirement Pension Board. But even as she established a new life in Denver, she continued to travel regularly to visit her mother, family members and maintained long-time friendships. She retired from the Pension Board in the mid-1980s, but kept many of the connections with her friends and co-workers.

While Annie Mae never forgot her Chicago roots, she and Curley hosted many delicious Christmas dinners for her Denver family and helped several family members settle in Denver.

With a wonderful sense of humor and engaging laughter, she will be deeply missed by all who knew her.
