Mary Ann Howie

A Funeral Mass will be celebrated on Saturday, October 17, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. EST at St. Boniface Church, E Street Valley. A Celebration of Life will follow. Please RSVP to one of her children or Grant Montgomery. Mary Ann was born on May 22, 1943, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, to the late Lewis Thomas II and Theresa Thomas. She lived a life defined by kindness, generosity, faith, and joy. To know Mary Ann was to know warmth and laughter. She had a remarkable gift for making everyone feel welcome and loved, and her radiant spirit could brighten any room she entered. Her Catholic faith was the foundation of her life, and she was a devoted member of St. Boniface Parish. Mary Ann found happiness in life's simple pleasures—singing her favorite songs, dancing whenever the opportunity arose, sharing treasured moments with friends, and caring for her beloved dog, Logan. More than anything, she cherished time spent with her family, who were the center of her world.

Mary Ann was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Robert Howie, and her sister, Ruthie Thomas Giammarco.

She leaves behind a loving family who will forever treasure her memory: siblings, Hank Thomas(Phyllis), Lewis Thomas III, Annett Lippert (Bobbie), and Loretta Beblo; her children, Steve Howie (Myrna), Laura Schoffstall, and Sean Howie (Susan); grandchildren, Mackenzie Hitchcock (Ethan) and Carrington Myers (Evan); and her cherished great-grandchildren, Luke, Everett, Uriah, and Lauchlin.

Mary Ann's legacy is one of unconditional love, unwavering faith, and a joyful spirit that enriched the lives of all who knew her. Though she will be deeply missed, her family takes comfort in the

countless memories she created and the love she leaves behind.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in Mary Ann's memory to Animal Friends, 562 Camp Horne Road, Pittsburgh, PA 15237, or by calling 412-847-7000.
