Motherhood was a role Annette embraced with all her heart. She was the proud mother of three Strake Jesuit alumni – Trey ’78, Steve ’79, and Greg ’85. Her children were her pride and joy, and she instilled in them the values of hard work, compassion, and integrity. Her guidance was instrumental in shaping their paths, and her influence will continue to live on through their accomplishments.

As we mourn the loss of Annette, we also celebrate her extraordinary journey. Her life was a tapestry of love, compassion, and dedication, woven with threads of resilience, generosity, and faith. Although she is no longer with us physically, her spirit continues to guide us.
Our thoughts and prayers are with George, Trey, Steve, Greg, and the entire Strake family during this challenging time. We hope they find solace in their memories of Annette and comfort in knowing that her love continues to surround them.
Annette Strake, your life was a testament to the beauty of love, the power of faith, and the importance of service. You will be dearly missed, but your legacy will forever resonate in our hearts.
