Annie Mae was born in Eudora, Arkansas, to James and Mable Brewer. Annie and her husband, Frank, were married August 17, 1955. He was 18 years of age, and she was 16, only a few days before her 17th birthday. Frank worked at Chicago Mill in Tallulah, Louisiana, for many years, and Annie was an avid Florist at Ideal Flower Shop in Tallulah. She loved working in her yard, where she grew the most beautiful flowers. She certainly had a green thumb.

When Frank was diagnosed with Lou Gehrig Disease, Annie was by his side caring for him until his death May 17, 2010. Annie’s health began to fail, and she sold her home and moved in with her daughter, Sharon and Bill Merrill.
