Beloved wife to Ronald; cherished mother of Anthony, Michael (Tom); proud doting grandma to Gianna “Gigi”; fond sister to Joann and John; fun loving auntie to many; caring godmother to several.

Mary Ann had a special gift for creating beauty in the everyday. She loved designing floral arrangements, often crafting stunning bouquets that she generously shared with family, friends, and neighbors. Her creations brightened countless homes and were admired by all who received them—a reflection of her warm and giving spirit.

Deeply rooted in her faith, Mary Ann was a devoted Roman Catholic who began each day in prayer, faithfully praying the rosary every morning. Her strong spiritual life guided her with grace, humility, and unwavering devotion.

She was also a devoted animal lover. Over the years, she lovingly cared for her cherished pets, including her parakeet Peppy and her dogs Shilo and, most recently, Misty. Her compassion for animals was evident in the gentle and attentive care she gave them throughout their lives.

Mary Ann will be remembered for the love and laughter she shared so freely with everyone around her. She had a way of making others feel welcome, bringing lightness and joy into every room she entered. Her kindness, gentle spirit, and warm sense of humor will be deeply missed, but forever cherished in the hearts of those who knew and loved her.
