Annabelle HUSTON Ross

Right out of high school, I went to work for the U.S. Government; and then, when I was 19, I left Sacramento to attend college at Bob Jones University on the east coast.

After three years, I left school and took a job in San Francisco as private secretary to the President of a seminary. After a year in the City, I went to work as a legal secretary for a large company. I made some wonderful friends; enjoyed living and experiencing life in San Francisco; and then a few years later, and a few boyfriends later, I decided to take a job in Grass Valley.

The thought of living in the mountains and being closer to the ski areas was a draw. Unfortunately, the man I worked for was a womanizer, so we parted ways. I planned to go back to the City, but my Father died suddenly, and so I chose to stay with my Mother in Sacramento.

I went to work then for the State, where I eventually worked again as a legal secretary in the Attorney General�s Office.

I married my husband Stephen Ross in 1971 and our daughter Stacie Jeannine was born in 1973. I retired in 1974 from the State, and when she was 3-1/2, I worked part-time as the Pastor's secretary in my church. After 6 years, I quit that job to take temporary work working only where and when I wanted to work. After working at over 50 different businesses, I went to work for McGeorge School of Law for the next 10 years. When I left there, I took a volunteer job in the Missions Department at Arcade Church where I write a weekly newsletter regarding the missionaries that we support. I have been doing this for the last 9 years, two days a week.

Outside of working, I have always loved camping, and have gone from tent camping through a Class A, RVing, and am mostly now renting cabins with my girlfriends at our Thousand Trails Preserves. (My husband has given up camping!)

Actually, my favorite thing to do is to get together with friends: coffee and talk with girlfriends and outings/dinners with my husband and other couples. I also belong to three different groups: an antique collectible club, where I am a Board Member; a book club; and a small community Bible Study group. I�m also a Board Member of Missions at my church.

Unfortunately, our only child Stacie J. Lane, died suddenly in December of 2013, which has left quite an impact on my husband and myself. Among many other things, I miss Mother/Daughter things like sharing books which we both loved, and the fun we had travelling to the Coast, and taking trips to San Francisco.
