Mary Ann Harwell Brewer, a lifelong resident of Fayetteville, passed away at the age of 90. Born in 1935 to Berry Brown Harwell and Katherine Harwell, Mary grew up surrounded by a large family in Lincoln County.
Mary Ann lived a life rooted in faith and tradition. As a longtime member of the Baptist church, she found peace and strength in gospel music. She was the cornerstone of her home, often found baking her signature chocolate pies or canning the season’s harvest, to share with those she loved.
She is reunited in heaven with her parents; husband, Robert Lee Brewer; her son, Robert “Bob” Brewer; sister, Betty Brewer; and her brothers, Shorty Harwell, Robert Farrell Harwell, Harold Harwell, Claiborne Harwell, Donald Harwell, Billy Harwell, and Walter Frank Harwell.
Mary Ann is survived by her daughters, Cindy (Mike) Crosslin of Fayetteville and Regina Braden (Eddie) of Akron, OH; grandchildren, Robby (Jessi) Crosslin, Dakota Crosslin (Michaela Farmer), and Christopher Braden; and her sisters, Maudie Foster of Pulaski and Ruby Jane Twyman of Fayetteville.
A private burial will be held at Riverview Memorial Gardens.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to a charity of your choice.
