She later joined Dr. Maurice Rawlings and served as his Office Manager before retiring to be with Connie as he battled lung cancer. Never one to sit around and be bored, she decided to go back to work after Connie passed away in 2005, and began working at the Cracker Barrel, winning Employee of the Year.

Annette Emanuel Broom, 77, passed away in the early morning of January 25, 2022. Annette was born on August 28, 1944, in Mobile, Alabama to Clifford Winston and Nellie Viola Emanuel. She spent her early childhood living in Mobile before moving to Trenton, Georgia during grade school years. Early during her high school years at Dade County High School, she met Robert “Connie” Conard Broom and married him on April 23, 1961. They were faithfully married for 45 years until his death in 2005. During this time, Annette became a loving mother to Robert “Bobby” Conard Jr, Donna Lynn, and Nicholas Thomas.

While her children were young, she was actively involved in their school and sports activities and served in the PTA. She had the most unbelievable talent to sew, many times without a pattern. To her children’s dislike (but what has now become a fond memory), she would make them matching outfits for Easter morning, often finishing them early on that Sunday morning. She carried this tradition on when she was blessed with grandchildren adding matching dresses for both the moms and their children. Going through the family Bible recently, we found a McCall’s pattern for a woman’s dress collar and thought “but of course, only Mom would keep that in her Bible”.

Annette accepted the Lord as her Savior on March 30, 1957 and was a faithful servant to the churches she attended, most recently New Salem Baptist Church in Lookout Mountain, GA.
