Mary Ann Wojcik

Mary Ann Wojcik, 93, of Bevent, stepped into the light of God's loving presence, on February 28, 2023, surrounded by her family.
Mary Ann was born on December 8, 1929, in Bevent, the daughter of Peter and Johanna (Cychosz) Filtz. On May 28, 1949, she was married to the love of her life, William "Bill" Wojcik at St. Ladislaus Catholic Church, Bevent. He preceded her in death on January 20, 2019, celebrating sixty-nine years of marriage.
Mary Ann, selflessly, and happily, devoted her life to being Bill's wife, the mother to their six children, and eventually, a proud and beaming Grandma to their grandchildren. She was an active member of St. Ladislaus Church, serving in the Women's Homemakers and Family Life Committee, as well as the Rosary Society for 74 steadfast years. Mary Ann loved to be in the kitchen, cooking and baking for all who came in the door. She was known for her chocolate chip cookies, apple pies, ponczkas and chocolate torte. No one ever left Grandma's house hungry! She enjoyed gardening as well as picking pickles-that in which she could out pick anyone in the patch! Family was very important to Mary Ann, spending time with her grandkids was always her greatest treasure! She will be remembered for filling our bellies with food and hearts FULL of love. She will be greatly missed.
Mary Ann is survived by four children, John (Carol) Wojcik, Joan (Michael) Kaminski, Jerry Wojcik and David (Nancy) Wojcik; one son in law, Karl Filtz; eighteen grandchildren, Jesse, Kari Lynn, Joe, Dan, Mike, Matt, Kevin, Jennifer, Jeff, Ron, Bill, Chelsea, Sandra, Hunter, Fawn, Beth, Tyler, and Kyle; thirty-six great-grandchildren; one brother, William (Patricia) Filtz and numerous nieces, nephews, and other relatives.
Mary Ann was greeted with open arms by her parents; her husband, Bill; daughter, Kathleen Filtz; son, Jacob Wojcik; brothers, Ted, Tony, Edwin, Joe, Leonard, Albert, John, Pete, Ray, and Ronnie; sisters, Francis, Esther, Mae, Pauline, and Sylvia. "Oh, what a Welcome Home Party that must have been!"
A Mass of Catholic Burial will be held at 11 AM on Friday, March 17, 2023, at St, Ladislaus Catholic Church in Bevent. Rev. Augustine Bentil will officiate. Visitation will be on Friday, from 9 AM until the time of Mass at church, with Rosary being recited at 10 AM.
The family would like to extend a special thank you to the staff at Pride TLC-Weston, Willowbrook-Stevens Point, Inclusa and Interim.
