Annie was born on March 9, 1999 in Bristol, the loving daughter of James H. Sr. and Angelina (Testa) Olender.

Annie loved softball and was a member of the Southington Lightning 99's Travel Softball Team and the Southington Lady Knights JV Softball Team. She was also a proud member of the International Order of the Rainbow for Girls. Annie loved the water and spent many summers fishing and boating. She was like a suction cup on the water tube.
