Our beloved wife, mom, grammy, and Aunt Mimi, would have been 75 today.  Unfortunately, she left us too soon, but the Lord has other plans for her with eternal life in Paradise.  She left an everlasting mark on her family's hearts, as well as filling us with so many happy memories.  Mary Ann loved sharing her time with her family and friends, and was always there if you needed a hand.  She was not only a great mother and terrific grandmother, but also best friends with her two sisters.  While she enjoyed many things in life, her favorite hobbies included taking long walks, playing games, lottery tickets and going to casinos.  Unfortunately, her and her sisters never had any major gambling success, but they had many good times bonding and making memories.  She was also an avid collector of Longaberger baskets and pottery.  While she will be greatly missed, she will live in our hearts and thoughts forever.
