Annie was born on September 19, 1956 in El Reno, Oklahoma to Joseph Malcolm and Melba Faye Phelps. She married the love of her life Gary Howser on December 7, 1984 in Gainesville, Texas. Annie was such an outgoing person, she loved people and she had the ability to make people smile with her loving personality. She had the biggest heart and would help anyone out that needed her. She gave the most amazing hugs and fun nicknames to those she loved. She brought such fun into any situation she was involved in; her antics would make people laugh, she was the light and laughter in many people’s life. She loved sports, loved watching her Cowboy’s play, loved Nascar racing and probably was one of the biggest fans of the Oklahoma Sooners football team. She enjoyed going to the lake with her family and watching any and all sports her grandchildren were involved in. Annie loved her family and was incredibly proud of them, she loved to spend her free time with her daughter and grandchildren, they were her life.

I am SO going to miss funny Miss Annie coming in to City Hall to brighten up our days with her humor and laugh. We are just never prepared to have those taken from us – no matter the circumstance. We will always remember her bubbly personality and her smile. Such a FUN LADY!!! Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you – that God would grant you peace and comfort.
To the all of the Phelps/Boone/Howser/Howard Clan- This is such a hard, sudden loss for you all, I know it must be hard to believe she won’t be walking through the door with her OU shirt on, speaking her mind and bringing her unique perspective Annie gave such loving support to everyone who needed her and she left a big gap in our lives that will be hard to fill. Rest, dear girl (and kick back with Gary and have a good laugh while you watch over your grandkids).
I am so sorry for the loss of such a beautiful woman. May God Bless you all and “Prayers” for all of your family! She will be “Truly Missed!”
We knew Annie as a caring family member. It was a surprise to hear that she had slipped away so suddenly. We know that her family was blessed to feel her presence.
