Mary Ann Missel Obituary
Mary Ann is survived by her children, Michael (Nancy) Missel, Julie Baeten, Carolyn (Jason) Harlan and Gerald (Jennifer) Missel; and her grandchildren Melissa Missel, Patrick Missel, Bradley Missel, Haley (Brandon) Smitsky, Blair Baeten, Benjamin Harlan, Olivia (Danny) Racz, Riley Missel, Chase Missel and Samuel Missel. She is also survived by her brother Joseph Casha as well as cousins, nieces and nephews. She is predeceased by her husband Gerald Missel; her sister Janet Looney; her brother John Casha; and her daughter-in-law Marnie Missel.
Mary Ann graduated from Cooley High School and attended Michigan State University. She was a secretary at The University of Detroit and an Administrative Assistant at Terry Barr Sales in Southfield.
She was a volunteer for The Christ Child Society and The Michigan Ballet Theater. She studied piano from an early age and it became a lifelong passion. She loved the performing arts and attended many dance, musical theater and orchestra concerts.
Mary Ann had the gift of gab and held court around her kitchen table and on the phone making everyone laugh. A lot. Her family and friends cared and comforted her as she slowly slipped away under the shadow of Alzheimers. She will be sorely missed.
Memorial visitation for Mary Ann will be held Monday, September 9th, from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at McCabe Funeral Home, 31950 W. 12 Mile Rd., Farmington Hills. A Memorial Mass for Mary Ann will be held on Tuesday, September 10th, at 11:00 a.m. with gathering beginning at 10:30 a.m. at St. Fabian Catholic Church, 32200 W. 12 Mile Rd., Farmington Hills.
