Annette E. DeSantis' Obituary
Annette DeSantis, 59, of Newark Delaware passed away Friday September 1st at her niece’s home in Culpeper VA surrounded by her loving family. Born in Syracuse New York, Annette’s love for music began at a young age following in her father’s footsteps to continue on the DeSantis musical legacy. She became proficient in guitar, piano, violin, cello, flute & harmonica. Annette went on to refine her craft by studying music at Syracuse University. In her early years she performed around Central New York with the band Laura and the Leg Warmers. She later formed the band Eves Faces touring up and down the east coast producing several albums and was most proud of her last CD. Outside of her music career, Annette enjoyed spending time outdoors, swimming and vacationing at the beach. She was a devoted animal lover her entire life.
