It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved Annette Risoff, who went home to be with the Lord on August 25, 2026, at the age of 90. Beloved sister of the late William "Bill" (Marian) Risoff; loving aunt of Cynthia (John) Souter, Stephen (Shari) Risoff, and David Risoff; dear great aunt of Scott (Barb) Risoff, Jacob Risoff, Daniella (Parker) Risoff Tanner, and Marianna Risoff; cherished great-great aunt of Natalie, CJ, Kelsey, Emma, Finnigan Risoff and the newest great-great niece, Reese Tanner.

Born on November 7, 1935, Annette lived a full, vibrant life defined by her warmth, dedication, and service to others. She spent her career nurturing future caregivers as a passionate nursing instructor, holding a special place in her heart for newborn and NICU care. Her generosity also reached generations of campers as the cherished head baker at Camp Awana for over 35 years—where her sweet treats and kind smile were a staple of every summer.
