Mary Anne Trio

Mary Anne Trio, age 83, passed away on Friday, July 11, 2025, at home in Statesboro, Georgia, surrounded by her children. She was born on August 21, 1941, in Elizabeth, New Jersey, to Walter Edward Corris and Margaret Colston Corris.
In 1961, she met and married the love of her life, Russ Trio. She became a devoted mother while also providing in-home childcare in New Jersey.
In 1979, Mary Anne, Russ and their children moved to Statesboro, where she became a licensed caregiver and ran her in-home daycare, The Playroom for Infants and Children. The second of five siblings, she began caring for children from early life and ultimately dedicated over 55 years to childcare.
Mary Anne was a longtime member of St. Matthew's Catholic Church and lived a life of unwavering faith. Her prayer list was a mile long, a testament to how deeply she cared.
Mary Anne enjoyed volunteering, bird watching, puzzles and, most of all, time with her family.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Russ Trio; four infant sons, her parents, her sister, Barbara Hutter; and son-in-law, Clark Turner.
She is survived by her children, Judy (Daniel) Turner Bernier, Connie Trio Floyd, Russell Trio and Christy (Matthew) Cleveland; her siblings, Walter (Roseanne) Corris Jr., Kathleen (Anton) Tevald and Eileen (James) Caravano; and her grandchildren, Alecia (Justin) Royal, Eric (Kristin) Turner, Samantha (William) Castro, Ansley Kirkland, Natalie Rushing, Matthew Turner and Rylan Cleveland. She also leaves behind her great-grandchildren, Madeline and Cason Williams, Jase Royal, Tess and Jackson Kirkland, Jonathan and James Turner; and her great-great-grandson, Grayson Mobley; along with many beloved extended family members.
