Legacy

Mary Ann lit up the room with her infectious laugh and radiant smile, and had a very strong faith and love for Jesus. She enjoyed going to the Jersey Shore, Elvis, dancing, cooking, bird watching, visiting with friends and family, and most of all, truly loved being a Nanny. Mary Ann survived many trials and tribulations in her recent years, but was a true warrior and fought through any battle she faced with her deep faith and admirable strength, while always putting other's needs before her own. God has truly gained a special gift and she will be deeply missed and forever loved.
