Adrienne “Annie” Rae Jackson was born March 1, 1979 in Culbertson, Montana at Roosevelt memorial hospital to Donetta White Bear and Gerald “Bootsie” Jackson.
Annie spent most of her life living with her grandmother Mercy White Bear in Fort Kipp, Montana. From middle school all though high school she attended Brockton School. She graduated in May of 1998. Having achieved many academic milestones in her lifetime, Annie also excelled in physical activities. She participated in the Special Olympics held in the spring of 1990. Being the star-runner for St. Joseph Catholic School, Annie was expected to take first in her category. However, at the beginning of the race she noticed a classmate she had befriended preparing for the race. Being blind he was given a rope to lead him along the route. Without hesitation she took his hand and walked with him all the way to the finish line. She won much more than her category that day.
Annie really enjoyed movies and music. But she really enjoyed nesting, gathering all her magazines, pictures while listening to her favorite music and watching her favorite movies. Boxes of tapes and CDs could be found all around her when she was jamming. Being a huge fan of Mariah Carey, Ann’s room would always be filled with Mariah’s music. Finally after years of planning, in March of 2019 Annie was able to see her “Hero” perform in Minneapolis.
