Annette Marie Griffin

Annette Marie Griffin, 63, of Granville quietly passed away on Sunday, February 8, 2026 at her residence while surrounded by her family.

She was born on September 30, 1963 in Peoria IL, to Fred and Barbara (Lutes) Colwell. She lived life to the fullest and enjoyed every moment with her friends and family. The memories made will be carried on in those that had the opportunity to be around her. She was an amazing mother and grandmother. She sacrificed and enjoyed watching her kids grow up and become parents all while teaching them along the way. She took joy in watching her grandchildren play sports, go to dances, even learn to drive. She loved her mom, dad, and sisters; and never missed a chance to tell stories about how she grew up. She was the biggest bears and cubs fan no matter how the season went; she was always optimistic. She was a machine operator at Mennies Machine Company in Granville IL, for 26 years; she always talked about her coworkers and considered most family. 

Survivors include her mother, Barbara Colwell; her son, Joshua (Adrienne) Griffin, and her daughter, Kristin (Nicholas) Jagg; Eight grandchildren, Taylor, Mckenna, Caleb, Emersyn, Lilyann, Braylon, Gavin and Ethan; Seven sisters,Vicky Karr of IA, Yvonne Boyd of IL, Diana Wolf of IL, Kim Haig of IL, Connie Colwell of NV, Kathy Marenda, of IL and Michelle Emery, of IN.

She was preceded in death by her father, Fred Colwell. 

No services will be held; she chose to have a celebration of life prior to her passing, where she was able to say goodbye in her way. She was grateful to all who were able to come, and loved the Pink Heals for the compassion and love they showed. 

Dysart – Cofoid Funeral Chapel will be assisting the family with the arrangements.
