Mary Ann was a life-long resident of East St. Paul. She graduated from St. Agnes High School in 1954, where she met Terry in 9th grade. They were high school sweethearts and married in 1957. She and Terry enjoyed the camaraderie of many friends and a great neighborhood in which they raised four children. Her and Terry purchased a lake property near Nevis MN; they built a cabin together where so many cherished memories were made.

Mary Ann loved to cook and bake, and her apple pies were a neighborhood legend! She was very active in her church, Presentation, where she was the funeral luncheon coordinator, fall festival dinner coordinator, and Boy Scout and Girl Scout leader. Mary Ann retired from 3M in 1992 where she managed multiple cafeterias in Maplewood and Woodbury.

The family would like to thank Harbor Crossing in White Bear Lake for the exceptional care the past 3 years. Memorials preferred to Presentation of Mary Church.
