Mary Ann was a devoted Catholic woman who dedicated her life to her faith, family, and community. She was an army wife, a mother of four, a grandmother of eleven, but most importantly, she was a friendly face who was loved by so many. She was a true example of strength, grace, and unconditional love. Throughout her 79 years of life, she faced many trials and tribulations. While she suffered tragic losses and experienced joyful new beginnings, her faith never wavered.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to St. Vincent de Paul or St. Philip Benizi Catholic Church.
