Annette was born on August 1, 1941 to Norbert and Cecelia (Wernimont) Wiederin. She was united in marriage on January 28, 1961 to Paul Baumhover.
Together, they made their home on the family farm north of Carroll, where they raised their eight children. Annette enjoyed spending time outdoors with her gardening and flowers and loved to hear the many compliments she received from those passing by. She was very creative with her crafting and also enjoyed canning and baking. Annette cherished the many visits from her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, and always took a special interest in the many events in their lives.
Annette made Christmas very special for the entire family. From Christmas candies and cookies to the special ornament tree, every detail was touched with love and tradition. “Wieder-Weekend” was also an annual tradition for Annette and her sisters that she treasured.
Those left to cherish her memory are her eight children: Karen (Terry) Janning, Mike (Shelly) Baumhover, Neil (Trisha) Baumhover, Diane Baumhover, Linda Baumhover, Kim (Tim) Eisenbacher, Lisa (Matt) Koll, Julie Baumhover and fiancé’ Tim Sarver. Annette was very proud of her 21 Grandchildren, 3 Step-Grandchildren, 24 Great-Grandchildren and 5 Step-Great-Grandchildren.
She is survived by her three sisters, Pat (Jerry) Heinrichs, Donna (Kevin) O’Donnell, and Kathy (Steve Jordening) Wiederin; her sister-in-law Catherine Wittry; and brothers-in-law, Gerald (Alice) Baumhover, Charles (Jean) Baumhover, and Steve (Norma) Baumhover.
Annette was preceded in death by her husband Paul, her parents Norbert & Cecelia Wiederin, parents-in-law Bernard & Rose Baumhover, sister and brother-in-law Marilyn & Paul Hoffmann, brothers-in-law Vern Pundsack, Bill Baumhover and Dale Wittry, and sisters-in-law Margaret (Bubbles) Baumhover and Mary Lou Baumhover.
Annette’s family would like to extend their appreciation to Dr. John Evans, Garden View Assisted Living, St. Anthony Nursing Home and Gentiva Hospice for their expert care and compassion.
