Mary Ann Gibson, age 79, of Butler, passed away peacefully surrounded by family at Sunnyview Nursing Home on Tuesday, March 9, 2021.

Born in Butler on July 16, 1941, she was a daughter of the late Armand A. and Olive J. Thomas DeSantis.

She was employed as a bartender at the Crossbow Lounge.

Mary Ann enjoyed playing cards, going to the casino, listening to music and watching ghost adventures. She loved spending time with her family, especially her granddaughter and best friend, Chelsea. She also enjoyed cooking and making homemade soup.

She always had a tendency to make everyone she met smile and laugh. She loved animals, and cherished her Boston terrier, Benny.

Mary Ann is survived by one daughter, Shawna Rimer, of Lyndora; three sons, Vince Fedorski and his fiancé, Barb Montgomery Hartle, of Butler, Scott Rimer, of Lyndora, and Wes Gibson, Jr., of Butler; four grandchildren, Chelsea Rimer, who was her best friend, Anthony Rimer, Vinnie Fedorski and Shayleigh Willyard; two sisters, Cathy Fazzino, of Butler, and Kim DeSantis, of Butler; and a number of nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Wes Gibson, who passed away October 14, 1977; one brother, Oliver Thomas DeSantis; and one great-grandson, Chance Rimer.

There will be no visitation.
