She found joy and camaraderie in academics, athletics and humanitarian work. She attended one year at Brigham Young University. She spent the last 16 months of her life as a missionary. Her Christlike example of patience and love will continue to inspire many across the world.

Annabelle had deep blue eyes, beautiful brown hair, and a bright smile.  She was tenacious, full of light, and had zest for life. She spoke her mind and indiscriminately loved her many friends.

Annabelle will forever be loved.
