Mary Ann was a true earth angel, a person that you might have met once as a stranger and walked away as a friend for life. She was adventurous and always put everyone else’s needs first.  A smile that was so contagious that you had no choice but to smile.  One of the strongest people you will ever meet. She will be so very missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing her.
