Annette Albin Stevens, beloved wife and mother, passed away on February 25, 2024 at home after a long fight with dementia. She was 72 years old. She had a strong faith in her Lord Jesus Christ, and was very active in church. The Lord gave her a joyful heart, which was her strength. Annette graduated from Glen Oaks High School in 1969. She worked in a health unit as a typist. She married Terry Stevens in the spring of 1970 and when they were expecting their first child, she became a stay-at-home mom. She homeschooled her children for many years.
She is survived by her daughter Shannon Stevens, her son Joshua Stevens, her Aunt Leatrice Whiddon and family, her sister and brother-in-law Diane and David Thompson, her niece Kim Saia and husband John Saia Jr., her nephew Donald Thompson Sr. and wife Lori and family.
She is preceded in death by her dearly loved husband Terry Stevens, parents Donald and Gloria Albin, and in-laws James and Frankie Stevens.
A memorial service will be held at Seale Funeral Home in Denham Springs on Saturday, March 2 from 12:00 PM to 12:30 PM with a service to follow.

Shannon and Joshua, we continue to pray for you both and appreciate the care you gave your mother all throughout her illness. We know how very hard it was and firmly believe y’all will be blessed for that. Aunt Annette has a testimony that has touched so many lives for decades in how she experienced health miracles that confounded doctors beginning with her brain tumor diagnoses in 1982. Doctors said she would be left a vegetable after they removed her softball sized brain tumor, NOPE, they didn’t know she knew the Great Physician! She loved the Lord boldly for all of her adult life and always gave Him the praise for everything. I told you earlier that I came across a quote yesterday a few hours after she made it to Heaven that simply said “She will be known for her boldness of faith.” And no statement can sum your mother up more. I loved her dearly and am proud to be her namesake. I will miss her until one glorious day when I see her again in Heaven. We love y’all!
