Annie is a flashback character in The Handmaid's Tale and Luke’s first wife.
Before Gilead[]
Annie confronts June after a yoga class. She accuses her of sabotaging a vow made before God. June is clearly affected by the encounter. Luke brings June back to herself, saying "she doesn’t matter because we’re going to get married. I’m going to make you happy." Years later, Annie runs into Luke, June, and baby Hannah at a coffee store. She and June make eye contact, and then Annie slips away[1].
After Gilead's Rise[]
She has only been referenced in "Vows" that Luke admits she could not have a child, because he suspected she could bear children. That explains why Luke wanted to marry June.
Possibly had fled to Chicago for safe refugee after Sons of Jacob seizes the East Coast and became Stranded in Chicago when the new nation of Gilead reaches the city limits more then a year after the President's Day Massacre.
