Marybelle’s Legacy: A Family Business Story
In a small, close-knit community, the Drake family was known for their warmth and compassion. 
Theryl Gwen Drake-Williams, the youngest of six children, grew up in a household where love and care 
were the foundation of everything. But among all the bonds she shared, the one with her mother, Marybelle, was the most special. More than just a mother, Marybelle was Theryl’s best friend, her guiding light.

Marybelle had a saying that she often whispered to Theryl: “You are the wind beneath my wings.” 
At the time, Theryl didn’t fully grasp the weight of those words, but as the years passed 
and her mother’s presence became a cherished memory, she realized how much those words shaped her destiny.

Marybelle was a woman of immense kindness, always extending a helping hand to those in need. She instilled those same values in Theryl, who, inspired by her mother’s selflessness, felt a calling to care for others. 
As a young woman, Theryl would visit elderly neighbors, spending time with them, running errands, and simply offering a listening ear. She saw firsthand how a little kindness could brighten someone’s day, and she knew she wanted to make a difference.

With Marybelle’s spirit as her guide, Theryl pursued a career in the medical field, dedicating her life to caring for others just as she had once cared for her mother. But she wanted to do more—something that would truly honor Marybelle’s legacy in a lasting way. That dream took shape in the form of Marybelle Transportation Services.

More than just a business, Marybelle Transportation Services was a tribute to the love, compassion, and unwavering support that Marybelle had shown throughout her life. It was built on the belief that transportation wasn’t just about getting from one place to another—it was about ensuring that people, especially seniors and those in need, were treated with dignity, kindness, and care.

Now, when a Marybelle Transportation vehicle arrives, distinguished by its signature red wings, it carries more than just passengers. It carries a legacy—a promise that Marybelle’s spirit lives on in every ride, every act of service, and every heart touched by the warmth of the Drake family.

Because even today, it is the Wind Beneath Marybelle’s Wings that continues to lift others up.
