She graduated Schuylkill Valley High School in Leesport PA held a number of retail positions in New York City, Chicago, Il, Washington DC and St Louis, MO including Military Sales Rep, Store Manager, Fashion Coordinator and Buyer of Giftware, Men's, Children's and Women's Wear.
Mary Ann's enjoyments included arts and crafts, decorating her home, preparing dinner for and entertaining friends. She spent many rewarding and relaxing hours maintaining the flowers in her front yard garden. While many don't know it yet, she will be missed by many Athens Eastside children who came every Halloween for the front porch presentation, the scary music, dancing under the strobe lights and to take a picture with the Witch providing the treats.
Mary Ann's wishes include her ashes be spread in the ocean at what became a very dear and favorite place to her.
