Mary Ann Sinning was born November 13, 1948 in Oakland, California, the daughter of John and Janet (Roney) Protivinsky. Mary was raised by her mother in Sioux Falls, SD. She graduated from Washington High School in 1967.
On April 4, 2016 Mary's very full life came to an end with the love of her life, Tom, sitting by her side. Mary was preceded in death by her parents. She is survived by her husband, Tom, of Alexandria; sons, James Sinning and wife, Lori, of Lake Stevens, WA, Jason Sinning and wife, Verlie, of Alexandria and Josh Sinning and wife, Rachael, of Alexandria; grandchildren, Madison, Hunter, Trappier, Autumn, Avery, Tallon, Liam and Charlee; and cousins, Barb Sample, Doug Beecher, Julie Krell and Janet Dunn.
A memorial service followed by a celebration of Mary's life will be held at 10 AM, Saturday, June 18, 2016 at Emmanuel Episcopal Church, Alexandria, MN. The celebration with music and a picnic will continue throughout the afternoon at the Sinning home on Rosewood Circle.
As much as Mary loved flowers, donations should be made to the Outreach Food Shelf, 1205 Lake Street, Alexandria, MN 56308. Learn more about Mary's life at www.andersonfuneral.net.

My sympathy to Mary Ann's family and cousins. I worked with Mary Ann's mother at the Credit Bureau in Sioux Falls SD when Mary Ann was in grade school. I remember her coming to the office to see her mother. Precious memories for all.
