b. January l6, 1936
Anne Watlington, the only daughter of Albert and Annette Glover Watlington, grew up in East Jackson and attended the public schools and participated in Trinity Methodist Church with her family. Being much younger than her brother Eugene, he was already away from home by the time she was three years of age. She was old enough to know and appreciate her Aunt Mable and Will Stephens who meant so much to the Albert Watlington family.
After completing high school in Jackson Anne met and married Roy McNeal and they made their home in Oklahoma City where her brother Eugene had settled in 1952. Her mother also had Glover relatives who lived in that area. Their children are: Kay Denice McNeal, (b. 1959) m. ca. 1990 to Mark Banks and they have two children; Lori Anne McNeal (b. 1962) m. ca. 1980 to Louis LeForce and they have two children; and Ronald Ray McNeal, (b. 1964) who is single.
The McNeal-Watlington marriage was dissolved and in Nov. 1978 Anne and Troy Collett were united in marriage. Troy operates a roofing company in South Oklahoma City, Okla. and they have lived there these nineteen years. After the divorce the children stayed with their mother. Anne and her sister-in-law Ruth keep in touch with one another, and the nieces and nephews. In July 1986 they made a trip to the Watlington Reunion at Jackson, Tenn.
