A Time to Be Born: Mrs. Annie Doris Slaton was born
September 6, 1948 in Meriwether County to the late
Simmie Haynes Jr. and Florene Anthony Haynes. She
graduated from Woodbury High School and earned college
credits at Flint River Technical College in the late 1990s.
She was employed at Dundee Mills Inc, in Manchester, Ga
for more than 20 years.

A Time to Serve: Annie joined Mt. Venus Missionary
Baptist Church in Gay, Ga at an early age and would go on
to serve faithfully as a clerk assistant until her health began
to decline and the world went into lockdown.

A Time to Enjoy: Annie was a breast cancer survivor
(2015) who loved flowers, fashion, and hosting and playing
games with family and friends on Sundays and holidays -
especially Christmas as it was her favorite. She had a talent
and took great pride in decorating her tree each year. Annie
was a warm, gentle spirit - who had an innate ability to
listen, comfort and offer support through small acts or
grand gestures. May her legacy of kindness and service
continue to inspire those who knew her.

A Time to be at Peace: On Saturday, September 7, 2024,
Annie made the transition to an eternal sleep at Wellstar
West Georgia Medical Center with her daughter by her side
holding her hand. She will truly be missed by all who knew
her. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by
her husband Norman Slaton on her 48th birthday; siblings -
Bennie F. Haynes, Margaret Sewell and a nephew Keelan
Dunn.

A Time to Mourn: Those she leaves to cherish her precious
memories include her loving and devoted daughter Yoshida
Slaton with whom she shared a birthday; siblings - Linda
(Curtis) Harris, Curtis Haynes, Joe (Judy) Haynes -all of
Woodbury, Ga and Angela (Willie) Dunn of Jacksonville,
Fl. An uncle LC Anthony and an aunt Annie Bell Anthony
both of Woodbury, Ga. A brother in law - Melvin Sewell of
Luthersville, Ga, a special niece Deidre Campbell, special
great nieces - Demia Mitchell, Kamelah Kelley and Kylah
Campbell all of Lagrange, Ga. Friends Steve, Sherry,
Renita and a host of other relatives and friends
