Annabelle Warren was born on March 18, 1919 in Nanjemoy, Maryland to the late Irene Richardson Gutrick and Robert Gutrick.

Annabelle was a very hard and dedicated domestic worker. She also along with her husband Isaiah ran and operated a business establishment. She helped with raising and caring for many families in which she formed a very close bond. This bond continued throughout her life.

Annabelle was baptized at an early age at Oak Grove Missionary Baptist Church by Rev. George Carter.  She was a faithful member, Sunday School and Bible Student and was appointed as the Mother of the Church.  She enjoyed attending Church services and loved good preaching and singing, and would talk about it all week.

Annabelle loved people and would go out of her way to speak to everyone. She had so many wonderful, loving and caring friends, some who referred to her as another mother because of her wisdom, love, listening ear and compassion that she always shared.  Annabelle loved fishing, family gatherings, spending time with her many friends and she especially enjoyed her annual Christmas Celebration.
