Annie Mae attended the public schools of Macon County and was a graduate of the Historic D.F. Douglass High School in Montezuma, Georgia. Annie Mae was a Certified Nurse’s Aide.

As fate would have it, she married the love of her life, the late Edward Lee Hooten, affectionately called “Bubba”. To this union five children were born: Charlie, Robert, Willie, Annie and Mary. She was a loving wife and mother with a lot of determination. She confessed Christ as her personal savior and joined the Mt. Calvary Baptist Church of Marshallville, Georgia.
On Friday morning, October 30, 2020, while a patient at the Houston Medical Center, her Heavenly Father called her name and she answered. Precious memories of Annie Mae will forever be shared by her family. She will always be remembered as being outspoken and having a great sense of humor.
