Nearby: Marshall, TXBOSSIER CITY — Annette Jackson Davis Hibbard, 91, passed away peacefully at her home on Tuesday, November 10, 2026. Known affectionately as Tiny Ann, Meemaw and Mother, Annette lived a remarkable 91 years filled with family, friendships, love, laughter, and a lifetime of memories. Annette was an American patriot through and through. Red, white, and blue weren’t simply colors she wore on the fourth of July. They were her colors. She wore them proudly, decorated her home with them, and could often be spotted behind the wheel of her red Cadillac. If the Dallas Cowboys were playing, there was little question who Annette was cheering for. She was a loyal Cowboys fan and remained one through the good seasons and the ones Cowboys fans would probably prefer not to discuss. She would write letters to the late Tom Landry of her accolades or disgust and received letters back from the team with a team photo or note.

He thanked those who have served through wartime and peacetime and at home and abroad. As attendees closed their eyes, he asked them to envision a veteran close to their heart.
