Mary Ann was a giving, caring, loving woman. When her children were small she helped sew little stuffed animals for needy children. In more recent years she volunteered for The Fallen Angels/soldier project, filling boxes for our troops and printing and mailing flyers. She was known as the "angel lady" after making thousands of little angels, then giving them away to people she didn't even know to cheer them up, to our deployed troops and to family and friends. Mary Ann survived breast cancer and would talk and encourage others who were cancer fighters as well. She and her two sisters made hundreds of lap quilts and distributed them to area care facilities. They sewed and stuffed little bears for first responders to comfort frightened children after accidents/tragedies. After becoming a resident at Sem Haven Mary Ann learned to make rosaries and made hundreds that were donated. The theme is pretty much the same, Mary Ann loved to give back, to help others and to make people happy.
