Mary Provost Obituary
Mary Ann was born on March 2, 1933, the loving daughter of the late Charles and Florence (O'Neil) Ryan. Mary Ann was a proud Navy wife, traveling wherever her husband's career took them, including living in the Philippines and Hawaii after he retired from the Navy, giving her many stories she loved to reflect on. She made her home in Somers, then moved to Colchester during her retirement years. She was a former communicant of All Saints Church in Somersville and a member of the Catholic Daughters. Alongside her husband, Mary Ann enjoyed ballroom dancing and enjoyed many cruises. She was an animal lover, particularly adoring dogs and birds. Her greatest joy was being a mother, and later being blessed to become a grandmother, great-grandmother, and great-great-grandmother. Mary Ann was dedicated to her family and will be deeply missed.
In addition to her husband, she was predeceased by a son, Richard Provost; and a sister and brother-in-law, Florence Heron and her husband, James. Mary Ann is survived by her children, Susan Jenkins and her husband, Danny of Colchester, Dennis Provost and his wife, Ruth of Salem, Terrence Provost and his wife, Debby, of Hartland, Thomas Provost of Gales Ferry, and Chris Provost and his wife, Deborah, of Ellington; grandchildren, Kelly, Ryan, Steven, Amanda, Jennifer, Amy, Jessica, Kyle, Cory, Jordyn, Benjamin, and Nathan; 11 great-grandchildren; and a great-great grandchild.
