Annabelle Albertha Guillory Biagas was born on October 15, 1937, in Church Point, LA. On August 18, 1957, Annabelle married Joseph Plenny Biagas in Church Point, LA. After a few years of living in California, Annabelle settled in La Marque, TX to raise her son. Years later, the Lord blessed her with her daughter. After working for 28 years at Union Carbide Plant, she retired.
She was a loving and devoted member of Queen of Peace Catholic Church for more than 50 years and a member of the Knights of Peter Claver Ladies Auxillary 167 Court, Ladies Guild, and the Neo Catechumenal organization. Annabelle lived a full life. When she wasn't at church, she volunteered at the food bank and bingo hall. She also enjoyed line dancing, crocheting, gardening, and cooking Gumbo.
A humble servant of God. She truly loved to serve others throughout her life. Affectionately referred to as "Nanny," she raised many children as her own. She did this not out of obligation, but because of who she was. She was a constant example of Christ's love to all those who knew her. Annabelle's greatest love was her family. She loved her children, grandkids and godchildren immensely. She was many things to many people, and we all have our own stories and memories about our beloved Annabelle, "Aunt Bello" and "Nanny."
