Mary Ann Drew, 75, of Amarillo, Potter County, Texas, passed away on Thursday, January 18, 2024.

She was born in Big Sandy, Upshur County, Texas, to Theodore and Lee Ella Brown Williams. Mary Ann dedicated over twelve years of her life to nurturing children as the owner of M&M Child Care, alongside her daughter Mae. In addition to running a successful childcare business, she dedicated fifteen years of her life to being a foster parent providing love, support, and stability to those in need. Mary Ann enjoyed shopping, playing cards and dominoes, cooking with her sisters, home interior design, listening to music, and being around family were all things that brought her so much joy. Mary’s enthusiasm for spending time with family was truly heartwarming.
