Above all, Annette’s proudest accomplishment was her family. She leaves behind a loving legacy through her daughter, Rita Sebastian; her sons, Phillip (Debbie) Sebastian and Dayle (Linda) Sebastian; and her grandchildren – Tracy Miley, Holly Jett, Amie Schlachter, Crystal Heflin, and Jeffrey Sebastian. Her family extends further to include beloved great-grandchildren: Landon, Christopher, Caitlin, Jaxon, Kira, Leah, Cameron, and Korinne, each a living testament to the warmth and devotion she so freely gave. Alongside them are numerous other family members and friends who will cherish her memory.

Annette was predeceased by her father, Guy McNay; her mother, Lorene McNay (née West); her husband, Dewey Sebastian; and her brothers, Guy McNay, Jr., Wilfred (Ruby) McNay and Theodore McNay. Their memories live on in her heart and those of all who knew her.

Her life was one of gentle strength and enduring love.
