Mary Ann loved meeting new people and enjoyed the companionship and friendships she gained. She is remembered for her strong faith, quirky sense of humor, always having a smile on her face and her fierce and feisty spirit especially noticeable by not allowing the challenging times with her health define her.

As well as 4 great -grandchildren Audri, Lucy, Tori and Emma.
