Mary Ann was a woman of simple joys, steadfast love, and deep faith. She was a talented seamstress and would make clothing for her children and grandchildren. Mary Ann had a deep affection for her dogs, treating them as cherished members of the family. She enjoyed quiet moments playing solitaire and the occasional thrill of video poker, always with a twinkle in her eye. She loved to shop and had a special fondness for collecting angels. Her passion for decorating made every holiday a celebration, as she transformed her home into a warm, welcoming space filled with seasonal cheer. Above all, Mary Ann loved her family deeply.

Mary Ann was a faithful woman and a member of Holy Ghost Catholic Church, where her strong faith guided her throughout her life.
