MaryAnn "Grandma Mica" Nash

ALWAYS THERE FOR OTHERS Passed Wednesday, November 17, 2010 at her home in Rohnert Park at age 67. Born August 26, 1943 in San Francisco. The daughter of Ted and Erma Maddock, MaryAnn was one of two children. MaryAnn grew up in Sebastopol, where she played in her aunt's apple orchard and enjoyed summers on Lake Pillsbury. MaryAnn Maddock married Tom Nash on November 21, 1970. They spent 40 blissful years together. They raised four wonderful children and six grandchildren, whom she leaves behind. MaryAnn was a graduate of Analy High School and enjoyed a very successful professional career at State Farm Insurance in Rohnert Park where she retired after 25 years of service. Tom and MaryAnn maintain a residence in Rohnert Park, but they were avid RV campers, annually venturing to Arizona, Oroville, and various other locations in the western U.S. MaryAnn was known for her huge heart, always ready to lend an ear. She always put the needs of her family ahead of her own. She was particularly engaged in the lives of all of her children and grand children. She often remarked that her best memories were the ones made with her grandchildren. She lived and loved and was loved deeply in return. Taken too soon and on the wings of Angels. She will be dearly missed and will live on through her grandchildren. She is survived by her husband Tom, her four children Kim (Ron) Sproat, Kathy (Rich) Morris, Keenan Jones, and Kelli (Jim) Veler; and her six grandchildren Allison and Amy Sproat, Michael Morris, Riley Jones, and Brittney and Bryce Veler. She also leaves behind her two fur babies: Buck and Missy. A special thankyou to Eleni Hulanicki at Santa Rosa Memorial Hospice. A celebration of her life will be held Wednesday, November 24th at 5911 Sailing Hawk Place, Santa Rosa, from 1 to 4 p.m. Donations may be made in her name to the American Cancer Society or Santa Rosa Memorial Hospice.
