MaryLee McCann
January 12, 1943 - December 22, 2020
Puyallup , Washington - When MaryLee McCann entered heaven on December 22, 2020 she was reunited with her loving husband Norman of 52 years.
She is survived by her sisters Nanci (Jack) and Carol (Dave) her sons Marty (Kris) and Shawn McCann. Her grandchildren Ryan (Rachel) and her great grandson Lane. Matt (Katie) and her great granddaughter Brynn arriving in January. Her granddaughters Haley and Hannah who brought her so much joy.
MaryLee loved her family and was a wonderful homemaker who enjoyed cooking, baking and raising her two boys. She was happiest when she was surrounded by family!
All people die, but not all people live! MaryLee lived! She packed so much life into her 77 years! She loved to travel with family and friends! She was very involved with volunteering at the Puyallup Activity Center. She enjoyed time spent with her friends at Viking Co-op Apartments and her home was considered the most welcoming home with her close knit friends. MaryLee will be missed by so many! We hope you're dancing in the sky! Due to Covid a small memorial will be held with the immediate family.

Mary Lee is forever in my heart. We lived across from each other in the Viking Coop We traveled together, volunteered together, played cards, were in constant contact. She was always cheerful and very kind to all. Truly a beautiful person who will be missed by everyone who knew her. She was so proud of her family and loved their visits. Condolences to Shaun and Marty and the rest of the family.

My mother lived next door to MaryLee for many years,and I
felt that I knew both her and Norm well.She always smiled, gave me a hug, and had something cheerful to say. I called her a couple of times after my mother passed, and she
caught me up on the family news. It is sad to know she
won’t be living in her home anymore, but I was always
grateful to know that my mother lived next door to her.

Mary Lee and her husband Norm were friends since they moved into Viking Court. She was such a happy friend to have around, she could lift your spirits when you were down. She seemed to understand but was not judging you. I was fortunate to have her friendship and I will miss her. Condolences to her family

I have many fond memories of Marylee, from working in the Bakery with her to having breakfast and carving pumpkins which was so much fun. So many lives she has touched. I can still hear her laugh. Very blessed to have known her and wishing Kris, Marty and the extended family love and support during this very difficult time. We are here for you if ever needed, God bless you all.
