Mary Anna Wolford

With profound sadness, we announce the passing of Mary Anna Wolford on Thursday, March 4, 2021. Mary was born November 21, 1936 in Baltimore, MD. She lived a fulfilling life as a mother who raised four children, Mary Anna Tomarchio (s: Joseph), Ralph Warren Norton (s: Sabrina), David Warren Norton (s: Michele), Frederic Scott Norton (s: Nancy). Mary was grandmother to eight grandchildren Bridgetta, Joseph and Samantha Tomarchio; Tabatha, Chad, Cory, Cody and Alex Norton; and one great-grand child Lucian Merk.

Preceded by Richard and William Erdman, and Dorothy Preisinger, her late sister in law whom she also raised.

She lived a vibrant life filled with compassion, pride and integrity. All that knew her admired her strength and loved her very much. She adored animals, the church, and gardening. Most of all, she treasured her family, of which she was immensely proud. Mary leaves behind beautiful memories, and a loving family who will carry on her legacy.
