Mary Nell Britt Brewer

The graveside service for Mary Nell Britt Brewer will be Noon, Thursday, November 30, at Red Star Cemetery.

Mrs. Brewer, 90, of Wesson, passed away November 25, 2023, at Copiah Community Hospital. She was born in Wesson, November 12, 1933, to Horace Green Britt and Rachel Thomas Falvey. Mrs. Brewer was a faithful and loving wife, mother, and grandmother, she lived to see three great grandchildren as well.

These are a fitting tribute to Mrs. Mary Nell as well. Her family was most important to her, after her love for God and His Word. She was a student of the Holy Scriptures and trusted the Lord with all her heart.

She is preceded in death by her husband, Nathan A. Brewer; her parents; son, Jimmy Dale Brewer; brothers Clyde Emmitt Britt; and sisters, Callie Bell Britt, Agnes Rhea Britt, Gladys Mae Britt Bills, Mavis Ophelia Britt Fuller, and Frances Marie Britt.

Those left to cherish her memory are her children, Debra Lynn Brewer Stringer (Ben), of Wesson, MS, and Joseph Dewey Brewer (Jacki) of Hattiesburg, MS; two grandchildren, Devin Brewer (Lauren) of Bulverde, TX and Allison Ririe (Tyler) of Pittsburgh, PA; and three great grandchildren, Hattie Mae Brewer, Harley Krew Brewer, and Layla Grace Brewer, all of Bulverde, TX; she is also survived by one brother-in-law, George Brewer (Elaine), of Brookhaven, MS.
