Annette (Shelnutt) Walsh
December 29, 1935 — May 6, 2016
Surrounded by her loving family, Annette Shelnutt Bradley Walsh, age 80, peacefully went to be with her Lord and Savior on May 6, 2016. She was born December 29, 1935, in Athens, Georgia, the daughter of Gerald F. and Montie Hitchcock Shelnutt.
Known for her ease in frequent conversation with even total strangers, she possessed a contagious smile and an entertaining sense of humor. Throughout her life she maintained a sweet and simple demeanor that won the trust and hearts of many, who even now are being changed by her witness of constant nurturing love and faith. Her signature gift of joy, shown through her constant smiling, laughter, and joking around, will never be forgotten. With a feisty zest for life, Mrs. Walsh enjoyed reading, playing Bridge and Canasta, traveling, and spending time with friends. She loved holidays and get togethers; any chance to spend time with her family and friends were her passion.
After graduating from Athens High School, she went to work for Independent Life Insurance Company for many years. Possessing a true servant's heart, she served our country as a military wife and homemaker. Upon the family's retirement from the military, she was a Regional Manager for H&R Block and eventually a franchise owner. As former owner of CoAn Business Services, she was an accountant and tax consultant. Annette was a member of the VFW Auxiliary and a member of Young Harris Memorial United Methodist Church.
Annette was predeceased in death by her parents and sister, Montie Jo Shelnutt Willams.
Annette is survived by her husband Joe Walsh of Griffin GA; children: Wyndee Bradley (Mark) McKinnon of Hartwell, GA, Lynn Bradley (Ed) Moore of Locust Grove, GA, Kay Bradley (Jay) Pugh of Dothan, AL, Joey (Carla) Walsh of Griffin, GA; grandchildren: Meredyth McKinnon, Toby (Christine) Ray, Taylor (Andrea) Ray, Merrit Moore, Jessica Moore, Ryan Pugh, Jake Pugh and Annabelle Walsh and four great grandchildren: Ansley and Sydney Ray, Kyli and Kaidan Smith: and many other relatives and friends.
A celebration of the life of Annette will be held on Saturday, May 14, 2016, at 2:00PM at Lord & Stephens West Chapel, Athens, GA with Rev. Sue Jacobson officiating. A reception will follow. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations can be sent in her name to Eternal Hope Hospice, 123 N. 18th Street, Griffin, GA 30223.
Lord & Stephens West is in charge of arrangement.
