Annelle passed away peacefully from this life while at Celeste Care in Llano. She was born on Flag Creek at her maternal grandparent’s home, Alfred and Wilhelmine Weber, she spent her early years on the family ranch of her parents, Albert and Therese Lehmberg in the Prairie Mountain Community. She attended the Prairie Mountain School through the eighth grade, often riding to school horseback with her sisters. Graduating from Llano High School in 1942, she finished her high school years as the top girl in her class. Upon graduation, during World War II, she attended Durham Business College in Austin and worked at Bergstrom Air Force Base.
On April 5, 1944, Annelle married her true love, James Taylor Virdell, who was serving as an aerial engineer in the United States Air Force during the war. Taylor’s service took them to Marfa, Texas, Rantoul, Illinois, and Ft. Wayne, Indiana.
Returning to Llano, the Virdell’s began together to build their business, Virdell Drilling, Inc. Life long partners, always supportive of all of Taylor’s endeavors, Annelle worked in the company as office manager and secretary for many years, while also raising their three children. While Taylor served on numerous boards and held offices on a state and national level in the water well industry. These responsibilities required that they travel throughout the United States, which gave them both many cherished memories.
