Mary Ann was always passionate about her family and their activities. She enjoyed music, singing, and participating in church choirs as well as other singing groups over the years. Her family and friends were treated often by her love of baking and candy making. Mary Ann was a longtime member of T.O.P.S., inspiring countless other members achieving and maintaining her K.O.P.S. status. She also volunteered many hours, including at All Saints Catholic School. All those she touched will miss her very much.
The family will greet friends from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m., Wednesday, May 1, 2013, followed by a rosary, at Hamilton’s near Highland Memory Gardens, 121 NW 60th Avenue.
