Annette Joanne Funicello - RIP

I was born in Charlotte, NC in 1955 at the Church A God Campground my father was a ordain and Church of God Circuit minster for the Blue Ridge Mountains and the coast of North Carolina. I was mostly raised by my brother and his wife till I was 5 years old and my father took myself and my sister to Fame, Mississippi to be the local pastor of the church. From 1960 to 1970 we made few trips back to to North Carolina in 1970 due to my father ill health we moved back to Cooleemee, NC and I met my aunts and uncles on both side of the family for the first time. My father passed in 1979 and I moved to California and my mother passed in 2010. My brother and his family still live in Cooleemee, NC and my sister lives in Mississippi not sure were. Since the passing of my father my brother, sister and I do not speak or visit anymore and I now live in Utah. From 1976 to the 1977 I was in the US Air Force stationed in Biloxi, MS and Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, TX and was Honorable Discharged after the Vietnam War ended. Was married for a short time and now single with no family of my own.
My parents were Wade Hamilton Crotts and Minnie Sue (Waller) Crotts, have a a brother Wade Elmer Crotts and a sister Darlene (Crotts) Avent. The Crotts and Waller families were mainly from Woodleaf, Cooleemee, Mocksville, Cleveland and Salisbury, NC area. Since I do not remember my grandparents from either side of the family I am not sure were originally they were from have heard rumors Scotland and Ireland not sure of date. All my Aunts and Uncles I knew were land holders, farmers and one owned a dairy outside of Cooleemee and today most of that land is not farmed anymore and the Crotts and Waller families have most passed away. The last time I was there was in 2010 for a few months everyone and everything I once knew and loved about that area was gone.
