It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Violet Anna Trickey, known to her loved ones as Annie, on May 8, 2025, at the age of 88. Born in Flint, Michigan, on March 29, 1937, Annie was a lifelong resident of Millington, Michigan, where she built a legacy of love, devotion, and kindness.

As a loving housewife, Annie devoted her life to her family, always ensuring her children and grandchildren felt loved and cared for. She had a passion for sewing and spent many hours creating beautiful pieces for her loved ones, especially quilts and baby blankets for the new members of the family. Annie was also known for her love of bingo, and she found joy in spending time at the casino with friends and family, creating memories that will be cherished forever.
