Mary Ann Gorman Obituary
79, of Perry Park, passed
away March 7, 2015 after a
short battle with lung cancer.
She was surrounded by
her husband and children.
A memorial service will be

Christ of Latter-Day Saints,

Mary Ann was born on
November 27, 1935 in Port
Arthur, Texas to Isaac
Townsend (I.T.) Young and
Mary Ellen Young. She
graduated from Thomas
Jefferson High School and
Lamar University in Beaumont,
Texas with a Bachelor's
degree in English in
1959. She went on to teach
English, Math and French
at South Park High School
in Beaumont, and later at
Douglas County Junior
High School and Douglas
County High School in
Castle Rock for 23 years
before retiring in 1998.
Mary Ann was a devoted
wife, mother and
grandmother. She was
full of life and always fun
to be around, whether it
was pulling pranks on
her students, or greeting
one of her children at the
airport wearing a Halloween
mask. She enjoyed
life and making the people
around her laugh. She was
a true Southern Belle and
always made everyone feel
welcomed and valued. She
was loved by all; her family,
friends, students, fellow
teachers, and staff. She
enjoyed traveling, reading,
gardening and spending
time with family.
Mary Ann is survived
by her husband, David
Gorman of Perry Park; son
Michael Moulckers and
wife Sandy of Houston; son
Mark Moulckers and wife
Tracy of Austin; son Max
Moulckers and wife Ingrid
of Austin; daughter Mary
Ellen Gorman of Parker;
daughter Suzanne Gorman
Barton of Austin; sister Sue
Ellen Young Knolle of Austin;
10 grandchildren and 1
great-granddaughter.
Memorial donations may
be made on her behalf
to the Counseling Office
at Douglas County High
School, for the benefit of
underprivileged students.
Our family wishes to
extend its gratitude to the
staff at Castle Rock Adventist
Hospital for their kind
support and care in her
final days.

Mary Ann was a wonderful part of the DCHS staff. My thoughts and prayers are with her family as they walk down the path of grief that is so very challenging.

Mary Ann, who taught was just down the hall from me at DCHS, could not pass my classroom without lobbing me some clever zinger. When I visited hers, her desk was mobbed by students who adored her as much as I did. I always thought she was the perfect teacher; she gave her students 100% of her considerable energy. Remembering her will always bring a smile.

Mary Ann was a wonderful person -- my heart goes out to her family -- my thoughts and prayers are with the family. I remember those delicious chocolate eclairs she made -- better even than the Broadmoor's.

Mary Ann was a beautiful person, both inside and out. She was the kind of working peer that everyone loves - personable, interested, caring, giving and a team player. We will remember our years teaching with Mary Ann, and Rich holds no other chocolate eclair equal to hers! God be with her family.

If I close my eyes I see Mary Ann's classroom...plants, the ladder to water them, the mirror by the door (have to look good) and her smile. I can taste the eclairs. I hear her comments to students that only Mary Ann could say, and I hear her laugh. I am grateful that I have those memories and many more and blessed that Mary Ann was a part of my life - she will be missed. Condolences and prayers to her family.
