Mary Ann was a devoted wife and mother who never lost sight of what was important in her life. She was the epitome of motherhood and taught her children patience, kindness and the value of perseverance. Later in life, the time with her grandchildren was priceless. Unending hours playing Yahtzee, teaching the art of making pies, her secret for the best potato salad, as well as gardening and simply living a life of contentment. She loved Celtic music and thoroughly enjoyed dancing with her family. Her gentle spirit will be deeply missed, as she leaves a great legacy of love. The family would like to extend our gratitude to the Daisy Unit at Ideal Nursing Home for their loving care. Mary Ann was a member of Our Lady of Sorrows Church in Vestal.
