Annette Williams Morales, 61, after a 3 year battle with pancreatic cancer Annette passed away peacefully at her home in Arlington, Texas, surrounded by the love of her family both near and far. Originally from Youngstown, Ohio, Annette carried the warmth and spirit of her hometown with her throughout her life in Texas.

Annette devoted her life to building meaningful connections within her community and was known for her strong work ethic. She took great pride in her time working at the Dallas Cowboy Stadium, where she forged many lasting relationships, and later held her final position at the Coca-Cola Factory. A true jack of all trades, Annette excelled in environments where she could connect and build relationships with others.

Above all, Annette was defined by her passions and deep love for her family. She was a devoted member of "Steelers Nation," rarely missing a game and celebrating every victory.
