Mary Ann was able to return to the Syracuse area the last 9 months of her life as she had wished to do. Family and friends knew Mary Ann's theme song was "My Way". That theme lead her on a strong and fulfilling life. She accomplished more than most ever would.
Mary Ann is survived by her two daughters, Julie and Kim Santamaria, and four stepchildren, Mary Lee Konka, Polly Ann Faucher, Joseph Faucher and Amy Simpson.
No services are scheduled at this time. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to a charity held close to Mary Ann's heart, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
