MaryAnn was born to Frank Mackwich and Barbara Hansen in Brooklyn, New York on May 29, 1959. She graduated from Hauppauge High School and received her bachelor’s degree in accounting from Dowling College.
MaryAnn spent her years on Long Island dedicated to starting her own accounting business, raising her children and heavy involvement in the community.

She will be remembered for her strong involvement in Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts and for being the life of the party at every family and neighborhood gathering.
