She was born October 3,1952 in New London. She attended Waterford High School and enjoyed being part of the baton corps. She graduated in 1970. She was oldest daughter to Phillip and Justine (Jaczinski) Hec.

She is predeceased by her parents as well as her grandmother Anna Jaczinski and her sister Diana Sylvester. She enjoyed doing crossword puzzles, reading books and playing with her two cats Missy Lee and Trouble Jones (aka TJ).

She is survived by her sister Dana Kinney and her nephew Mark and his wife Dana Mangels as well 4 great nieces Autumn, Savannah, Brooke and Holly Mangels all from Minnesota. Her sister Phyllis Hec, a nephew Dennis and his wife Manda and great nephew Sean Ozea. Her niece Amy and her husband John as well as great nephew Jackson Manning all from Virginia. She is also survived by her daughter Michelle (Scalia) and her husband Dennis Madec of Norwich. Her daughter became her sole caregiver back in 2023.

Mary Ann loved the weekly shopping trip to Walmart and ShopRite every week with her daughter. She and her son-in-law Dennis bonded and watched faithfully every week two of her favorite shows, FBI, SVU, Chicago Med, Chicago Fire. Even if they were repeats she looked forward to those nights with just her and her son-in-law watching those shows.

She was one tough lady she had been through it all her life. Battling cancer back in 2011. For it to come back again a year and then the year after that. She is sadly missed by her family. We would just like to say thank you to those of you who knew, worked and loved her. Her Michelle would like everyone to know she passed away with a big smile. A smile she hadn't seen in years. Instead of flowers please donate to her favorite charity. Saint Jude Children's Hospital.
