Annabell “Honey” Powell Branton

As the eldest daughter, Annabell—affectionately called “Honey”—kept her composure and strength after her mother’s passing, serving as an example to her younger siblings.


Her Story

Home & Motherhood

Annabell maintained an immaculate home with her husband Sammie and their daughter Judy Bell. Due to her work schedule, she entrusted weekday caregiving to her sister Mamie.

Remembered By Her Daughter

Judy Bell described her mother as sweet, loving, and nurturing, recalling that Annabell balanced discipline with deep affection and unconditional love.

Family Heirloom

A beautiful wooden wardrobe built by Papa Ben for Annabell was originally too large for her first home. It has since been passed down through the family and now resides in Dollie Powell Johnson’s home.
