She was born October 25, 1933 in Tupelo, MS to the late H. Lee and Ina Lindsey and grew up in Greenwood before moving to Jackson. She attended Central High School then Mississippi Southern College. She was a member of Tri Delta sorority and graduated with a degree in Physical Education. She started her career as a teacher in Pensacola where she met her husband who also was from Jackson. He was a Navy pilot attending flight school and was later stationed in San Diego, CA. While in California, Mary Ann continued teaching and enjoyed being a Navy wife. Mary Ann stayed home to raise her three sons which kept her very busy. After 16 years away, they returned home to Jackson to be close to their extended family. Family was always important to her and she wanted her children to grow up having their support.

After 40 years in Jackson, Mary Ann moved to Madison, AL where she quickly made friends and enjoyed spending time with her children and grandchildren.
