Mary Ann was a devout Catholic and raised a Catholic family. She attended Sacred Heart School on St. Louis Avenue and St. Alphonsus Rock on Grand Avenue. Mary Ann was a lifelong member of the Association of the Miraculous Medal for over 75 years. Each year she added the names of new births, marriages and friends in prayer.
Mary Ann was not a woman of technology. She believed each person was very special and it was important that you would receive a card, note or call on her flip phone. She continued this tradition until her frail hands could no longer write.
We are so grateful that we were able to honor her wishes and care for her in the Atherton home by Deborah, Steven, Phillip, Lisa, Peggy, Delores, and Linda. Along with the excellent care received by Mercy Hospital and Mercy Hospice. They are truly Angels on Earth. We are so grateful that we were able to honor her wishes and care for her in the Atherton home by Deborah, Steven, Phillip, Lisa, Peggy, Delores, Jacson, Luke, Jack, and Linda.
To say she will be missed here on earth is an understatement as she brightened everyone's day.
