Saunders

Annie Lillian Saunders, of Cherry Hill, passed away on November 5, 2026, at the age of 97. Born on November 28, 1928, in Monroe, Georgia, she lived a long and meaningful life marked by faith, devotion, and enduring love for her family.

Annie was a seamstress, a calling that reflected both skill and patience. She was also an active member of St. Andrews United Methodist Church, where her faith was an abiding part of her life. She lived by the words, “always have faith never give up,” and that steady conviction shaped the way she moved through the world and the way she was remembered by those who knew her.

She was preceded in death by the late, Paul Saunders, to whom she was married for 25 years; her mother, Odessa Austin Malcom; her sister, Mary Nelle Malcom Kennedy; and her sons, Kenneth P. Saunders and Mitchell C. Saunders.

She leaves to mourn her daughter-in-law Selina Knox-Saunders, grandchildren, Stephanie (Andre) Miller, Kerri Knox, James Turner, Jr., and Michael (Ann) Knox; eleven great-grandchildren; her nephew, Keven Kennedy; and a host of cousins. In their lives, her presence will continue to be felt in cherished memories, family bonds, and the example of perseverance and faith she set before them.

Your life was a blessing to all. Full of love, kindness and grace. And though you're no longer with us, your memory will forever embrace. We'll remember the way you made us feel, the joy you brought into our lives, and though we miss you dearly, we know that you're now in paradise.

So, goodbye for now our dear loved one, we will see you on the other side. Until then, know that you're loved and forever a part of our lives.
