Ms. Mary Lillian Andrews Dyer, was born November 15, 1945, to the late Ms. Leola Leodale and Mr. Milford Andrews Sr. in Lanett, Alabama.
Ms. Dyer accepted Christ as her personal savior at an early age. She received her formal education at Lanier High School in Lanett, AL and graduated in the class of ’62.
