Mary Ann was born in Eldorado, Texas on December 13, 1931, to Edd and Bess Bradstreet. She passed away at the age of 82, in her home in Lubbock, Texas. Memorial services will be held at Monterey Baptist Church in Lubbock, at 11 a.m. on Wednesday, July 30, 2014. Interment will be at 11 a.m. on Thursday, July 31, 2014, at the Elmwood Memorial Park in Abilene, Texas. The family will receive visitors at Resthaven Funeral Home of Lubbock from 5 to 7 pm on Tuesday, July 29, 2014.
As a 1953 graduate of Hardin Simmons University, Mary Ann dedicated her life to teaching, and was active in her community and church. She met the love of her life, Fred Fewin, in Lubbock, Texas and married him on October 5, 2007. Fred and Mary Ann shared a love of God, travel and Texas Tech athletics. From the day she told her family she was falling in love, until the last words she spoke to her family, if she was asked about Fred, Mary Ann would smile and light up and say, "Oh, I love him! He is so good to me! And he loves me. He's a good guy."
Mary Ann taught at Stewart Elementary in the Lubbock Independent School District from 1961 to her retirement in 1998. Stewart was built in 1960, and on the 35th anniversary of the school Mary Ann, or Mrs. Bradstreet as she was known before her marriage to Fred, joked with a reporter, "They were still working out of those double sided barracks, and I've been here ever since. I don't know if I should be proud or ashamed." When asked by that same reporter to describe her experience at Stewart she stated, "I think I've made a difference. There are doctors, engineers and just plain good guys out there who have come back to say thanks for being my teacher." She loved children and she loved teaching, and she enjoyed making rockets fly and creating oobleck as much as her students did.
