Maria is survived by her loving mother Mary Louise Wilson and step-father Eugene Wilson; father Frank Vann and step-mother Deb Vann; beloved daughter, Madelyn Gingrich, who was her whole life; and brother Matthew Wilson. Each of these relationships brought her immense joy and pride, and she will be deeply missed by all.
