She was the daughter of the late Mitchell and Agnes (Goulart) Koczera and a lifetime resident of Fairhaven.
Mariann worked at Acushnet Company for 19 years. In earlier years, she worked as a dental hygienist, her favorite career, in which she received a degree at BCC.
To those that knew her, Mariann always made an entrance and lit up a room. She was a ball of energy and lived her life to the fullest.
Mariann loved a good adventure by land or by sea, whether she was biking, motorcycling, enjoying concerts and shows, sailing, or swimming with dolphins on vacation. She also loved making friends and family smile by sharing comical antics with them through Facebook Messenger and we will miss them greatly. Her most treasured times were spent with her best life- long friends Kathy Connor, Pat Johnson, Carrie Butler (also her cousin), Patti Marshall and her loyal dog Dallas.
She was kind-hearted, leaving little gifts at your door just to make you smile or lending a hand to help a person or animal in need.
Mariann is survived by her loving brother Michael Koczera of TX; her nephews Timothy and Christopher of TX; her loving companion of many years, Peter Souza of Fairhaven, her aunt Aline Koczera of Freetown; her cousins Steven and Donna Koczera of Fairhaven and Jason Koczera of Fall River; and many other cousins on both the Goulart and Koczera sides.
