In 1969, while speaking with a friend of hers, Annie had a chance encounter with a patrolman named Tyrone Moore and asked her friend to introduce them. A strong friendship quickly developed between the two and resulted in their marriage on May 3rd, 1969. This union between Annie and Tyrone resulted in the birth of their son, Tyrone Christopher Moore, in February 1971. Shortly after the birth of their son, Annie was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis that very same year. Although the realization of the diagnosis was difficult to take, Annie’s faith in the Lord allowed her to persevere as she consistently shared her positive and encouraging outlook on life. She never allowed her illness to prevent her from enjoying time with her family, maintaining and managing her household with her husband, and enjoying & appreciating life.
