ANITA WARRENE NELSON DREW

Anita Warrene Nelson Drew, of Cypress, Texas, went home to be with her Lord 
and Savior on Friday, April 18, 2014. Warrene gave of her love unconditionally 
and was an example of strength to us all.

She was born in West Monroe, Louisiana, on November 22, 1944, and is preceded 
in death by parents James and Talitha Nelson and sister Kathy Nelson Gates.

Warrene is survived by David Sandoval and her daughters Stephanie Drew 
MacDowell of Cave Creek, Arizona, and Carrie Denise Caviness and husband Jason 
of Robinson, Texas; four beautiful grandchildren: Kristopher and Kiersten 
MacDowell of Cave Creek, Arizona, and Drew and Hope Caviness of Robinson, 
Texas; brother, Jimmy Nelson and wife Patty of West Monroe, Louisiana; brother-
in-law, Richard Gates of West Monroe, Louisiana; nieces Whitney Gates Cate and 
Leslie Gates Nunn of Minden, Louisiana; and nephew Jay Nelson of Brandon, 
Mississippi.

Warrene graduated from West Monroe High School in 1962. After leaving her 
childhood home of West Monroe, Warrene was a long time resident of Houston, 
Texas. She was employed by Halliburton for 34 years. Precious mother, Nana, 
sister, and friend, she cherished spending time with her family and shopping 
with her daughters. Warrene was an avid reader and beautiful pianist with a 
gift for music. She was so very proud of her grandchildren and found joy in 
their activities and their laughter.

Warrene was a beautiful, caring, and compassionate woman who was a blessing to 
all who knew her. The memories of yesterday were tender and sweetest of all. 
She was dearly loved and will be dearly missed.

Thank you, sweet Mother, for loving us, supporting us, and giving to us so 
generously. We never doubted that you would do anything you could for us. We 
were so blessed and lucky to be your daughters. You exemplified Love.

"Charm is deceptive and beauty is fleeting but a woman who fears the Lord is 
to be praised. Give her the reward that she has earned and let her works bring 
her praise at the city gates." Proverbs 31:30-31.
