Annabelle May

Annabelle May, 97, of Noblesville, passed peacefully on March 11, 2020. Annabelle was born on January 5, 1923 to Price and Viola Beasley.

After retirement from Indiana Bell, Annabelle was a homemaker and used her time to volunteer for the betterment of others. She was a former board member of Janus Development Services and the Noblesville Housing Authority. She also could be found many days helping her best friend, Carol Shaffer, at The Rose Bowl. Her passion was baking, and she was well known amongst her friends for her wonderful cakes and desserts, especially her Bananabelle cake.
