Annette Marie Brown, of Vacaville California. Our beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and friend, passed away peacefully on November 10, 2024, aged 70.
Born on May 20, 1954, at Travis Air Force Base, California. Annette’s early years were marked by adventure as she moved with her military family to various locations, including Europe and Texas. She attended Fairfield High School in California, where she forged lifelong friendships, married her first husband in 1970 and settled down to raise their family.
Annette’s love for animals was boundless. She was a devoted pet owner, caring for numerous parrots, dogs, and cats throughout her life. Her love for animals even led her to start a pet-sitting business at one point.
In addition to her love for animals, Annette found great joy tending to her many houseplants in the early years, and later, she would spend countless evening hours gardening and grooming the landscape in her yard.
Annette was preceded in death by her Husband William Randal Brown, Father Albert Riley Meneley, Mother Betty Marie Pickering, Brother Alan Meneley, and Sister Suzette Pearson. She is survived by her two sons Randy L Willams, Aric A Downs, three granddaughters and four great-grandchildren.
A memorial service celebrating Annette’s life will be held on December 12, 2024, at 1:00 PM at the Sacramento Valley Veterans Cemetery in Dixon, California.
