Annette was born in the small town of Forserum, Sweden, to Sven Rosenquist and Maria Christina Andersdottir. Her father Sven died in Sweden when she was young, and the eldest sibling Carl Ricktor emigrated to America to scope out possibilities there to support the family. In June 1877 Carl returned to Sweden and accompanied his mother, sisters Annette and Alfrida, and fiance Edla Johansson to Woburn, Mass.
Annette soon found employment "in service" along with her sister Ida, and later in another household beside her sister Alfrida (both in Boston). She met and in 1879 became engaged to Randin Johnson, a Norwegian.
Upon her death from tuberculosis, Annette was buried in the unmarked plot at Mount Hope that is reserved for those who have died from communicable diseases. Her 6 surviving children became wards under conservatorship. The two youngest, Annette and Elsie, eventually were adopted by the Harvey family in 1903.
