Aunt Annalene
Annalene Elizabeth Hervey
1899 - 1978
(Sara Pluma, Alfred Gilmore, Joseph Walker, Joseph, John, Joseph)
Daughter of Sara Pluma Young and John Nelson Hervey
Concert pianist and blind in one eye from birth. She was raised by her
Grandmother, Elizabeth Johnston Young, after her mother remarried and moved
to California. We owe her a debt of gratitude for all her photo albums,
scrapbooks, and family memorabilia that she saved for our future benefit.
Annalene married twice, (1) Ed Harper, (2) Carl Callander. She had no
children of her own, which might explain her interest in the children of her
sister, brother and cousins. She attended the Pittsburgh School for the
Blind and could read and write Braile. She died in El Centro, California
from the complications of Alzheimer's. She was a fantastic woman, full of
life, lots of fun to be around, extremely smart and incredibly talented
musically, like her mother. Anyone who knew Annalene loved her.
