Mary Ann loved to cook and to bake. She was famous for her Oreo cheese cakes made and decorated for family occasions. She enjoyed water color painting, which she usually gave away. There are moms and daughters with aprons she made. One of her greatest joys was the amateur stage; she absolutely loved being in the Cathedral of St. Peter Dinner Theater. She enjoyed acting in the shows and being with the cast.
But her greatest joy was family. She loved being with her siblings and their children and their children. Her greatest sadness in this time of Covid was not being able to spend time with their family because of her weakened immune system.
