She spent her childhood growing up on the family farm (Fairydale) near Little Falls, WI. She attended High Bridge and Wagon Landing Schools, and graduated from Amery High School.
Mary worked most of her life at Holy Family Hospital (now Westfields) in New Richmond. She started in housekeeping and trained to work in the surgical department in sterile control processing. She loved her job and her co-workers. They shared many memories together.
Her greatest joy was sharing her life with her daughter, Belinda, and her granddaughter, Merissa. They loved spending time together. She also enjoyed long walks, movies, and endless conversations with her family and friends.
Mary Ann was a fun person, lover of music, especially rock. She also enjoyed many concerts and loved to dance. She was a kind, giving person and was always there to help others. She always had a smile on her face and a positive outlook every day. Thru her illness, she remained positive, kept smiling, and never complained.
