Annie Turnbo married Aaron Eugene Malone, who played a significant role in managing the business aspects of the Poro Company. Their partnership contributed to the company's initial success.

As the Poro Company's wealth increased, tensions grew between Annie and Aaron. Disagreements over business decisions and personal matters led to marital problems.

The marriage ended in a highly publicized and contentious divorce in 1927. The divorce proceedings involved complex legal battles over the Poro Company's assets and ownership. Aaron sued for half of the business, based on his contributions to the Poro Company. The divorce and its aftermath took a significant toll on Annie's personal and financial well-being.

After her divorce from Aaron Malone, Annie married Franklin L. Barnett. Barnett became involved in managing her business affairs.

Following the tumultuous divorce, Annie largely kept her personal life private, focusing on rebuilding her business and continuing her philanthropic work.
