Marie was born in Pensacola, Florida. She was the oldest of thirteen children of Edward and Erma White. She gave her life to the Lord Jesus in 1988 and dedicated her life to Him. She loved the Lord with all her heart. She is preceded in death by her parents; her husband of over 36 years Ralph Patrick Drewel, three of her youngest brothers, Randall Wayne White, Gary Thomas White, and David Dean White. She is survived by her seven brothers and two sisters. The siblings are Winfred Eddie White, Myra Faye Briggs, Sam White, Donald Ray White, Kenneth White, Eddie White, Peggy Pope, Richard White, and Steve White. Marie also leaves three children, Rose Marie Liter, Melvin Johnson, and Renae McKiven. She also is survived by eight grandchildren, nineteen great-grandchildren, and five great-great-grandchildren, and numerous nieces and nephews.

Marie was a great light shining through the darkness and had many friends who cared deeply for her. Her favorite Scripture was Acts 2:38 where the Apostle Peter replies to a crowd asking how to be saved: “Repent and be baptized, everyone of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.” Marie was always thanking God for blessing her with three generations of Godly Mothers.
