A devout Christian, mother of four beloved children, and devoted wife to her former husbands was filled with life and enjoyed entertaining guests and family at her home on Mockingbird Lane in Gulfport.

They resided in Bremerhaven, Germany for one year and New Orleans for two years, before moving to Gulfport in 1949. They were married for 39 years until his death in 1985.
Annie married Jesse Boyce Holleman in August of 1986 and they were happily married for seventeen years, until his death in November 2003. She was preceded in death by her husband, father of their four children, Dr. Osmond Durant Dabbs; husband, Jesse Boyce Holleman; and son, Osmond Durant Dabbs, III. She is survived by her three daughters, Ann Presley and her husband Rhett, Dede Cage and her husband Chuck, and Rebecca Anderson; two step daughters, Diane Kiser and her husband Mitch, and Beth Holleman; her four step sons, David Holleman, Mike Holleman, Tim Holleman and his wife Lisa, Dean Holleman and his wife Laurie.

Annie was a phenomenal lady and will be dearly missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing and loving her. Her memories will be treasured among family and friends and her spirit will always surround us.
