Annette trusted Christ as her personal Savior while attending Bible camp at Okoboji. She was a current member of the Evangelical Free Church in Albert City where she served as Sunday school teacher, choir member, and with the WMS ministry.

Then, they had a homemade camper which Virgil and Howard DeYoung built before eventually acquiring a modern camper. Their trips took them to many states. Their favorite vacation destinations were Colorado, South Dakota, and Texas.
