Born in 1934 in Greenwood Florida to Frank & Lassie Baker, she attended West Union Grove High School in the early 50’s. She worked at Webb Air Force Base for 10 years and then moved to Abilene in 1969 to work as a chef where she would retire after 34 years from Dyess Airforce Base.
Annie was a cordon bleu chef, a prodigious bowler, an incredible softball player, a crossword puzzle connoisseur, and most importantly a champion of Christ. She was a faithful member of New Light Baptist Church where she served with the women's ministry, president of the deaconess’, and a member of the Progressive West Texas Baptist District Association Senior Mission One.

She is preceded in death by her husband, Charles L. Newman; her son, George W. Newman; and grandson, Kevin Newman.
