MaryAnn Kotwicki

Age 73, she passed away peacefully at home surrounded by her family on February 26, 2026. MaryAnn was born on June 13, 1952 to the late Clara and Frank Duplaga. She was the beloved wife of many years to Robert (deceased). She was a devoted mother to Kim Buca, (Michael), Kathy Salvo (Steven) and Kevin (Jennifer). She was a wonderful grandma to her grandchildren, Connor, McKenna (Trevor), Kyle, Kaitlyn, Taylor, Troy, Cooper and Lola and Great Grandma to Daisy.

Her greatest joy in life was her family. She was so proud of each and every one of them. She was a lover of life and always smiling! She enjoyed gardening, spending time in her yard and watching / feeding the birds.

MaryAnn always looked for pennies on the ground, believing they were little signs from heaven-- gentle reminders that loved ones were near and watching over us.

A private celebration of life is planned.
