She was born in Middletown, daughter of Joseph and Margaret (Lown) Whitley. Mary Ann was employed as a clerk at Stop and Shop for thirty years.

Mary Ann is survived by her daughters, Cindy Jacobs-Fernandez and her husband Henry Fernandez of Middletown, and Patty Selinsky and her husband Bob of Summerville, SC, daughter-in-law Norma Jacobs of Middletown, grandsons Eric Selinsky and wife Monica Selinsky, Brent Jacobs, Kevin Selinsky and wife Nathena Selinsky, Shane Jacobs, Michael Fernandez, and granddaughter Charmaine Lane and several great grandsons. She was predeceased by her husband, Jake, son, Raymond, and sister, Margaret Rau. A funeral service will be held on Wednesday, July 22nd at 12:30 at Biega Funeral Home, 3 Silver St., Middletown. Burial will be at the State Veterans' Cemetery. Family and friends may gather prior to the service from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at Biega Funeral Home.

To Maryann's family,
Thoughts and prayers to all of you. I remember her from Stop and Shop and loved her sense of humor. The world became smaller when we figured out I knew her daughter Patti. I always loved talking to her. Maryann lived a long life. She is at peace now away from any pain or suffering. Cherish all the great memories you had with her.

Deepest sympathy to Patty, Cindy and the entire Jacobs family at this sad time of loss. Your mom lived a very full life and she certainly loved her sports, but she loved her daughters and her family the most. Now she is at peace with your dad and your brother. Peace, love and prayers for all of you.
