To her loved ones, Annice was the heart of the family. She shared 49 years of marriage with her devoted husband Donald Ray Jordan, building a life filled with love, resilience, and shared memories. She was a caring mother to Hannah Jordan Touchstone and a loving grandmother to her twin granddaughters, Sadie and Scarlett. Her family was her greatest joy and her proudest accomplishment.
A Legacy That Will Never Fade
Annice was preceded in death by her parents, her beloved daughter Jessica Kristen Jordan, and her brother Phillip Eugene Hendren. Despite these painful losses in her lifetime, she remained strong in faith and continued to pour love into those around her.
