Anna Mae (Baker) Shewbrooks
Born in Pittsville, Maryland to Nancy E. (Wainwright) and Vearl V. Baker, Anna Mae, age 98, passed away on Tuesday, May 17, 2022 with her family by her side.
In addition to her parents, Anna Mae was predeceased by her husband Nevin W. Shewbrooks, two months short of their 55th Anniversary. The early years of her marriage Anna Mae worked at the Hercules Research Center and later in life for Harvey & Knott's bus company. Her main purpose in life was to raise her children and keep a Christian home.
During her children's school years she was active in the Parent Teacher Association. A big part of her life was her involvement with her church family. Anna Mae was an active member of the Richardson Park United Methodist Church from marriage to the present. There she joined the Bible study group, the Rebecca Circle, and on occasions was a Sunday morning hostess and a Scripture Reader. Anna Mae was passionate about her faith and beliefs and lived as a true disciple of Jesus Christ. One of her favorite pastimes was sitting down to read a good book, along with her daily bible reading. In her later years it was her strong faith that kept her going.
Anna Mae was also predeceased by her step-sister, Connie Littleton; step-brother, Merrill Dennis; two half-sisters, Eleanor Ester Veach and Eloise Harriet Nichols and her beloved aunt and uncle who raised her from a young age, Lillian and Leslie Ellis.
She is survived by her children, Harry Fisher (Wanda), L. Leslie Lacombe (Bill) and Sharen D. McCarnan (Bobby); five grandchildren; one great-grandson and two half siblings, Josephine Conaway and Joseph Baker.
