LEGACY
Mary Ann had a caring, giving spirit and welcomed everyone into her family. The devotion and love she gave to her husband, 4 daughters, 4 sons (-in-laws), grandchildren, great-grandchildren, 2 brothers as well as extended family (by blood or by choice) was a precious gift to all. She found great joy in cooking, baking and feeding everyone. Traveling and camping with family and friends gave her precious memories. Crocheting and crafting for many loved ones was a labor of love to her. Taking pride in her work at Gloucester County Vocational School (GCIT) in the Cosmetology Department with teachers and students, investing her time and talents in education. Volunteering throughout her life with the Colonial Manor Ladies Auxiliary, Gloucester County 4H and Girl Scouts of America. She will forever be in our hearts and missed by all who have been blessed to know her. Our beautiful angel with her golden wings will be watching over us.

Maryann was one of the kindest people you could ever meet. She made you feel like you were special. We had many adventures, shopping in Lancaster, vacationing in the Carolina´s, trips to the Casino, and SkillsUSA trips to Kansas City, Missouri, just to name a few. Good times and bad times, she was there for it all. She will be greatly missed.
