This memorial website was created in memory of our loved one, Annabelle Hainsbury, 24, born on May 5, 1993 and passed away on June 24, 2017. We will remember her forever.

CHICAGO-Annabelle Hainsbury, age 24, died suddenly on June 24, 2017.  Annie has left this world. We are not sure why and it is not ours to ask. Her vocation on our earth is now fulfilled. She was called to an appointment from which she will not be returning. We are sure her mission takes her to a wonderful place filled with all her extra activities she loved the most in life- dancing, singing, and reading books.  We need not spend time weeping about her death nor being saddened about what a wonderful person she was. She would not have liked this.

Annie would like us to remember her happiness. Her zest for life. Her courage to try new things. Her hard work. Her love for others. Her determination and drive. Laughing, loving and living life- making a difference to so many We remember her smile, her warmth, her energy, her love for family and friends.

She made a difference in the lives of many including her best friends Harry Kreyol, Stephanie Elgstad and Elisa Spencer and her family as the legacy of their Midwest traditions live on through our thoughtful and supportive relatives in the Blomgren, Deutche, Hainsbury, Montaine, Petter, Stallion and Williams families.

We invite family and friends to help us celebrate her life by sharing your favorite Annie story, song, poem or prayer through mshainsbury@gmail.com. Annie was a very private person but loved stories so we felt it appropriate to ask for yours! We will be compiling a book of friendship from all your submissions and we will make 2 books – the original we will bury with her  when the time is right, and the second book we will display at our private family celebration of life; a book we will cherish forever. Thank you to everyone for your hugs and kind words. Annie made a difference in life for us all and you each have made a difference in ours. Thank you.
