Mary Ann Andrews' Obituary
Mary Ann Andrews, 79, passed away on September 11, 2020 at High Point Hospice House in Haverhill. She had spent the previous six weeks at Brigham and Women’s hospital in Boston battling leukemia.
Mary Ann was born in Lawrence, Massachusetts on March 19, 1941. She was the daughter of the late Joseph and Mary (Carlon) Flathers. She was raised and educated in Lawrence, Massachusetts.
Mary Ann’s passion was spending time at her summer camp in the lakes region of NH, and traveling, especially to Las Vegas and cruises with her dear husband Walter. One of her greatest joys was spending time with her grandchildren Kyle Andrews, Jordyn, Joseph Jr (JJ), and Jeremy Waible. Mary Ann retired from the Lawrence School Department in 2002.
Mary Ann was devoted to St Monica Church in Methuen and volunteered many of her hours there. This included School Guild Officer, Parish Council Secretary, 19 years as a Religious Education teacher, helped initiate Marriage preparation program, and with her husband Walter were a presenting team for Marriage Encounter weekends.
Mary Ann is survived by her loving husband of 57 years, Walter Andrews, her son Scott Andrews, son Stephen Andrews, and her daughter Seleina and her husband Joseph Waible. She was predeceased by her sister, Carol Nolin.
