Anna Marie Mimay Howell, 54, of Ridge, MD, passed away peacefully on January 6, 2025, surrounded by her loving family. Born on September 23, 1970, in the Philippines, she was the second of four children to Lydia and Dennis Watson. She was the loving, longtime girlfriend to Alex Statesman. Anna Marie is survived by her son, Hakeem Asri (Danielle) of New Jersey, and dog daughter, Bonita, of Maryland, her siblings, Mark Mimay (Ashley), Robert Watson, and Genevieve Yeldell, as well as her grandchildren, River and Ronan, her nieces, Alisha, Kalynn, Arianna, Jasmine, Claire, Julia her nephews, Alex, Aiden, Gabriel, Tyler, Peyton, Elijah, Issiah, great nephew, Tristan, and great nieces Ava, Nahla, and Camila. Anna worked over 25 years taking care of the elderly. She had a gift for taking care of the elderly and continued to work until retirement where she then transitioned to caring for her parents. Anna was known for her selflessness, love for life, and her crazy laugh. Although she was known for taking care of the elderly, she was very artistic and loved to draw and write poetry. Anna had a great sense of humor and loved to laugh. Everyone that knew her had at least one memorable time where they had fun and laughed hard with her. Anna loved her family and enjoyed spending time just hanging out with them and laughing and was known as the caregiver, not just because of her career, but because she was always there for all her family and friends. She was always willing to sacrifice whatever she needed to help her family and friends. Per Anna’s wishes, there won’t be an official gathering.
