Annette Sue Minnick was born on August 31, 1950, and passed away on June 19, 2025. She was 75 years old and from Jemez Pueblo, NM. She passed away at our apartment at 8:42 PM. She was married to Raymond Jelus for over nine years; they met at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, in 1967. She was a self-taught and successful computer programmer. Her husband was the hospice caregiver.

This was an exceptional marriage, based on the belief that love is a living spirit, God’s breath. The marriage was white as snow. Our marriage was based on this belief. We were very happy regardless of the number of years of her illness. I will see her in heaven again.
