Ann-Marie Schell recently moved to Johnson City, TN to care for her elderly parents and grandfather, ranging from age 75 to 100. She still calls South Carolina home, though, where nearly fifteen years of her life were spent as a single mother to her now 25 year old son, and 24 year old daughter. Ann-Marie is also fondly known as Nana to her son’s 21⁄2 year old daughter. After her 10 year marriage ended in 1989, Ann-Marie devoted herself to the Lord and joined in the work of Singles Ministry. She began as a fellowship leader, and served as Lake Murray Baptist’s Singles Director/Coordinator for 5 years. In 2003 and 2004 she served as the Lexington County Baptist Association’s Singles Team Leader, but stepped down from both positions in 2005 with the intention of attending New Orleans’ Theological Seminary in the fall. After the hurricane, and her parent’s illness, Ann-Marie is now looking at on-line seminaries to obtain her degree. She is using her nursing and managerial experience as a Medical Office Consultant to subsidize her income while she cares for her family. Ann-Marie has joined University Parkway Baptist in Johnson City, and is consulting with their Singles Leadership while acting as an Interim Fellowship Leader.
