ZENNER – Annette Jane (Annie) (née Johnson)

Condolences to Annette’s family. Annette’s was a fantastic nurse who appeared to have a gruff exterior but really had a heart of gold. It was a pleasure to work with her over many years.

I have loved you from the day l was born. You called me your baby and l loved you like my second mother. We were always mistaken as mum and daughter and l am proud to be your sister. I am so glad l saw you before you became unwell and thank you for what you said to me at St Vincents. You are my Annie Spannie and l love you. My memories of being young with you and Mum and Dad are my strength at this time. , You would come home to Yanakie and sleep in your own bed, which was now mine, and your perfume was always on my pillow. You will forever be in my heart as l have never known life without you. I love you spannie billie and l know mum and dad are thankful to have you by their side once again. Pen.

Dear AJ, must have travelled thousands of miles together and visited hundreds of places. We loved the many times you came here to the UK and all the trips when we came to Australia. You made lots of pals here too. Glad we had those weeks with you in October/November. You will always be missed and remembered. Val and Pat

Truly sad to hear of Annie’s passing. Though very far away regardless that Dwyer bond is there. One of our own. I especially think of your visit to Nodstown and our amazing Auntie Hannah. To all the Dwyers in Australia we will be especially thinking of you all in the next coming days from the Dwyers in Tipperary.

Such sad news. Condolences to all the family.
RIP Annie, thx for the care you gave me during a hospital stay.
A lovely lady will be greatly missed

The South Gippsland Hospital extends its heartfelt condolences to Annie’s family and friends.

Annie worked at the SGH for over 12 years, mostly on night duty, as a nurse and midwife, up until her retirement a couple of years ago.

We are saddened to hear of her unexpected passing.

RIP

It took me a while to know the softest heart, I should have realised sooner watching such careful, thoughtful buying of gifts for her loved ones over many, many years.
I’m very sorry to know now that our last conversation was our last.

Thinking of you Berry. Hugs Fiona and Ross

Annette’s gruff exterior hid a heart of gold. She was a loyal and caring friend and I was honored to be counted as one of her friends. Keep travelling

Shocked & very sad to read of Annette’s passing,she was a pleasure to work with at leongatha hospital. Condolences to her family. Sandy Burns ❤️❤️❤️

A beautiful woman with the kindest heart. Known her as a nurse since the 1980s as a young new mum myself at Toora hospital . Then hearing how tenderly she cared for my mum when on night shift in Foster. So sorry to hear about Annie’s passing. I know ‘the gels’ in the UK will be devastated. Sending love to them and to the whole family. Thank you Annie. ❤️

My sincere condolences. Have known Annie for many years. A wonderful caring nurse. Will be sadly missed.

Deepest sympathy to the O’Dwyer family and thinking of you all at this difficult time. ❤️ What a lovely photo of Annie and how I always remember her. I was very appreciative of her kindness and support at the time of Tom’s death. I’m sure she will be meeting up again with him and all the O’Dwyer’s to have some great chats
Rest in Peace Annie and thank you for a life well lived. Love from Aunty Sue.

Deepest condolences to all of Annette’s family. Fond memories of a lovely caring nurse.

Sorry to read of Annette’s passing
First met Annette in the middle of the night at Korumburra maternity ward she handed me my first little baby told me not to talk or make eye contact with him just feed and hand him back haha funnily I just told my daughter the same with her little one and told her my story with Annette just the other day.
RIP Annette you were a force to reckon with definitely a wonderful nurse.

May you rest in peace

Fly free Annie.

So sad to read of Annette’s passing. Great memories of working with Annette on night duty at K.D.H. and those midnight cuppas. I have thought of her many times over the years, remembering happy times. To work night duty and work as a team, to rely on each other was an effortless, enjoyable and satisfying time. Never forgotten. Loved you Annie.
