Mary Anna (Jessup) Ritchie
Mary Anna (Jessup) Ritchie passed away on Monday, April 2, 2018, following a long and hard-fought battle with cancer. She was born in Jackson, Michigan, to Glenn and Beryl (Dentel) Jessup on May 25, 1948. Mary worked as a computer analyst for more than thirty-three years, in Jackson, Michigan and then in Cincinnati, Ohio from 1985 on. In 2009, she and her husband, Bill Biros, moved to Bradenton, Florida to care for her parents. Both preceded her in death. Also preceding her was a brother, Jack (Earl John) Jessup, of Jackson, Michigan. Mary is survived by her husband, a brother, Larry Jessup (Illa), two aunts, and numerous cousins, nieces and nephews. Throughout her life Mary was an animal lover, and was very devoted to her "kids". Over the years she nurtured numerous horses, dogs, and cats; many of which were "rescues". She is also survived by her precious Schnauzer, Bubba, and her feline buddies, Sugar and Tommy. Following organ donation of Mary's corneas, she was cremated, according to her wishes. Friends wishing to remember Mary with a donation may direct it to the American Cancer Foundation or the Organ Donor Foundation.

So sorry to hear of Mary's passing. I worked with her in the early 60's at Uncle Glenn's Business. She was a sweet and caring person. Someone you liked to be around. God Bless,
