Annie L. Wilkes, more commonly known as Sweetie, was born on Saturday, August 26, 1939, to Leo Moon and Jennie B. Stevens in Jefferson, Texas. She transitioned on Friday, December 27, 2024.

At an early age, Annie accepted Christ and was baptized at New Zion Baptist Church where she later served in the choir and as a member of the Usher Board. She later attended and became a

After obtaining her education, she was geared to providing for her children, working for Jordan Health Services in which she retired from, as well as being a registered sitter. When not working she
could be found watching her favorite soap operas, game shows, and loving on her family.
