Annette Ridings Vaughn, lovingly known to family and friends as "A," passed away on July 30, 2026, at the age of 66.

Annette was a devoted daughter, sister, aunt, and friend whose love for her family was evident in everything she did. She is survived by her three sisters, Tammi Loggins, Terri Scott, and Kim Nichelson. She was preceded in death by her parents, Heard and Opal Ridings.

Known for her kind heart and dependable nature, Annette was someone everyone could count on. If you needed help, encouragement, or simply someone to listen, all you had to do was call A. She gave freely of herself and was always there when her loved ones needed her.

Annette had a remarkable creative spirit. She was incredibly artistic and had a gift for building, crafting, and creating unique pieces that reflected her imagination and talent. Her creativity brought joy to those around her and left behind treasured reminders of her special touch.

Above all, Annette loved her family. Her nieces and nephews were the light of her life, and she cherished every moment spent with them. She leaves behind countless memories of laughter, love, and unwavering support that her family will carry with them forever.

Annette's kindness, generosity, creativity, and unconditional love will be deeply missed but never forgotten. Though she is no longer with us, the legacy of her caring heart and the many lives she touched will live on in all who knew and loved her.

A celebration of Life service will be held at 4:00pm on Sunday, August 23, 2026, at the Pavilion at Field’s Landing in Canton, Georgia.
