On Sunday, March 7, 2021, Annette Marie Branham, loving mother and grandmother, passed away at the age of 84.
Annette was born on November 3, 1936 in Penny, Kentucky to Nancy Coleman and Russell Branham. Ultimately landing in Rochester and then moving to Fairport, NY, she attended East High School and was a valued associate at General Motors, enjoying a successful career before retiring. As a single working mother, Annette demonstrated an unwavering commitment to providing the absolute best life that she could for her three children – Paula, Susan, and John.
Annette had a passion for music and dancing and loved being outdoors skiing and playing golf. Annette was happiest in grandma mode, sharing her passions and her time with her grandchildren that she adored. She was known for her kind eyes, her bright smile and her compassionate spirit. Annette was a breast cancer survivor, living out her final years as a beloved resident of the St. Ann’s Community.
Annette was preceded in death by her mother, Nancy, her father, Russell, her grandson, Ryan Christopher Harkins, and her son-in-law, Michael Regan (Paula). She was a loving mother to Paula M. Regan of Denver, CO, Susan M. Reynolds (Rob) of Basking Ridge, NJ, and John J. DiPonzio (Kelly) of Rochester, NY. She will be most deeply missed as a devoted grandmother to her seven grandchildren, Jack, Andrew, Ryan, Christian, Julia, Matt (Jessica), Mike, and her great-grandsons Aiden and Leo.
