Married to Nathaniel Price, Sr. for 65 years, Annie lived a full, enthusiastic life and was an amazing woman to all who knew her.Annie was a proud member of Lee Chapel A.M.E.

Annie worked at Meharry Medical College in Human Resources for 30 years, where she was adored and respected. As one of the original founders of the Meharry Association of Office Personnel (MAOP), she continued to be involved in events long after her retirement. Annie was also a proud member of the Red Hat Society for 18 years, never missing a party or trip, not ever letting grass grow under her feet.
