Brewer – Annette “Nannette” F. Drew, 97, died unexpectedly June 13, 2015, at a Bangor hospital with her family by her side. She was born May 21 (23), 1918, in Bangor, the daughter of Edward Earl and Mary (Finnegan) Curran.
Annette graduated from Bangor High School and the Bangor School of Commerce. She was married to Judson “Bud” Drew. They lived in Bangor and had four children. Over the years Annette worked as a Court Stenographer at Dow Air Force Base, as a secretary for many years for Walter Constantine Insurance Adjuster, at the ABC School, and at the American Red Cross before she finally retired at the young age of 85. Annette was kind, caring, and always willing to help. She had a great sense of humor and a “never give up” attitude. She loved playing bridge, going to the seashore, and most of all, eating lobster.
