Mary Ann Martyr MacDade

Mary Ann Martyr MacDade Beloved mother, grandmother, and friend, Mary Ann Martyr MacDade, departed this world at home in Pebble Beach, CA at 6:55 a.m. December 3, 2010. She was born April 18, 1925 in Fargo, ND. She grew up in Denver, CO and moved to the SF Bay Area in 1947 as a young bride after marrying her true love, Thomas Clark Mac Dade Jr., who predeceased her in 1997. She was 85 years old. She was known for her hospitality, love of people, amazing stamina, and the desire to help others through her volunteer activities. A graduate of Scripps College in Pomona, CA, she was a lifelong learner. She is survived by daughters, Leslie Ann Broz and Mary Beth Powell; son-in-law Franz J. Broz; and granddaughters Kristin Powell, Miranda Broz, Kerry Wilks, and Katie Powell. We especially wish to thank Mom's angel aides who lovingly cared for her: Trish, Lene, Alisi, Julie C., Julie W., Jessica, and Trisha. We are grateful, also, to Stacy for her healing touch that gave mom respite from pain. A memorial service will be held January 8, 2011, 10:00 a.m. at St. Mary's by-the-Sea, corner of 12th and Central, Pacific Grove, CA. A reception will follow. In lieu of flowers, please direct donations to Hospice of the Central Coast or St. Mary's by-the-Sea. May her Homecoming bring joy to those who have gone on before!
