Annette M. Schreck

Albany, NY-Annette Schreck passed away peacefully on November 2, 2023 after a brief illness at the Kingsway Arms Nursing Home. Annette was born on November 22, 1922 in Albany and was the daughter of Adelaide (Duffy) Stierle and Charles Stierle. She was predeceased by her husband Francis Schreck in 1995. Annette attended the Academy of the Holy Names and the College of St. Rose. She graduated college at age 19. After marrying Frank and raising five children, Annette re-entered the workforce and especially enjoyed working as the Administrative Assistant for the parish of St. Teresa of Avila in Albany. Annette is survived by her sons, Charles (Monica), Peter (Kathleen), Tom (Susana) and her daughters Anne (Rene) LaRoche and Mary (Donald) Catellier. She is also survived by her grandchildren Meghan, Peter, Francis, Andrew, Amy, Catherine, Ellen, and Madison. She is also survived by twelve great-grandchildren. Annette’s longevity (100 years) can be attributed to many things. She loved to pray especially for other people. She was devoted to her family and “checked in” every day on everyone. She read stacks of books each week and conquered the Times crossword puzzles. She loved going out to dinner. She really loved being around people. She would never turn down a piece of chocolate and she reliably savored a glass of Dewars and soda at 5:00pm on the dot. We are grateful to Ivey and her staff who kept Annette comfortable and allowed her to stay at her home for many months. We are grateful to the Bellevue Wing of the Kingsway Arms Nursing for their care and attentiveness.
