Annabelle Winters Passed away April 4, 2007. Annabelle Schickler was born in San Francisco on June 10, 1915 to Charles Schickler and Rose Gelles. Born at a little over a pound and a half (and a twin) the doctor had the girls put in the then newly invented incubator exhibit at the Panama Pacific Exhibition. Annabelle's twin did not survive. She grew up at Homewood Terrace after her mother died in the 1918-1919 flu epidemic. She lived at Homewood Terrace with her siblings, Bessie and Eugene. Another sister, Lee, was raised by her maternal grandparents in New York. Annabelle attended Commodore Sloat and Balboa High schools. After Homewood Terrace she lived at the Emanuel Residence Club (now the Zen Center) at Page and Laguna. She worked at the 1939 Treasure Island World's Fair. In 1947 she married Herman Winters (one of 12 siblings) and was happily married until his death in 1995. Annabelle was a career manicurist and retired in 1980. She is survived by her loving daughter, Rosalind Tolson; devoted son-in-law, Greg, and grandson, Zachary. She loved being a wife, mother, and grandmother. In 1998 she moved to the Jewish Home for the Aged where she was known by everybody from the nursing staff to the maintenance crew. The family thanks the entire staff of the Jewish Home for their loving and excellent care. Funeral services will be private.
