In 1972, Annie presented $1,000 to the Langley Memorial Hospital Foundation which was an accumulated sum from prize monies from agricultural fairs awarded for needlework, cooking, butter, honey, flower and vegetable exhibits.
Annie was married three times. She was first married to George Miller in Washington State and was divorced in 1926. She returned to Sperling to live with her three minor children: Andrew, George and Harriet. She then married Albert Armstrong.
