Annabelle went from a city girl to life on the farm and she adjusted well. To this union, six children were born, Chris, Tom, Maryann, Diane, Sandy and Amy. Annabelle was a devoted wife and mother. Her main priority and happiness was her family and she started many family traditions which her children hold dear today and continue to be been passed on to their children. She attended many school activities. She always had the uniforms washed or the last-minute food needed for a school function. Annabelle and Jim enjoyed time with friends which included polka dances and high school football tailgating.

She was a member and past President of the St. Wenceslaus Altar Society. She also taught CCD. Later, Annabelle cleaned houses and she worked on the election board. After retiring she enjoyed gambling excursions with Kathy, Judy & Mary. She also enjoyed her outings with Diane, Elm & Sally. She also spent time in Lincoln with her sister Mabel Svoboda and enjoyed movies and restaurants in Lincoln. After Jim's death in 2010, she remained on the farm until the fall of 2022 when she began residence at the Heritage in Geneva.
