Annie's challenges began well before her official Parkinson's diagnosis

The Lulloffs were entering an exciting stage of life in 1976 when the first signs of health issues that lie ahead for Annie began to emerge soon after they moved to Green Bay, Wisconsin, with their young family. She experienced a sudden loss of sense of smell, severe anxiety attacks, vision issues, and other neurological challenges prior to her Parkinson's diagnosis on New Year's Eve, 1989.

Rolf and Annie were determined to keep living active and involved lives. They developed a special relationship as care partners over the next thirty-one years until Annie's passing in 2021. Their commitment to experiencing all that life has to offer strengthened their bond and established them as examples for others going through similar journeys.

"The sense of despair that often accompanies the loss of control from Parkinson's can be overwhelming," explains Ann McKee, MD, director of the Boston University CTE Center and UNITE brain bank. "Rolf and Annie Lulloff are great examples of how focusing on love and resilience makes it possible to enjoy a fulfilling quality of life."
