Publish in a newspaper
MaryAnn was a force of life; a witty, fierce and caring wife, mother, grandmother, great-grand-mother, sister, aunt, and friend.
MaryAnn was born July 30, 1940 in Youngstown, a daughter of Joseph and Mary Kamensky Bohac. Raised in Youngstown, but relocating to Florida in the 80's, MaryAnn was a Regional Manager at Sarah Coventry for many years.
Maryann was a beloved member of her family. She especially loved Christmas and hosted yearly Christmas Eve dinners to gather her family; her living room completely taken over by a Christmas Village. She was devoted to her children, grand children and great grand children, playing a crucial role in raising and loving them all.
Her husband, Robert Emory Reese, whom she married on December 9, 1967, died September 2, 2018. She leaves three children, Randall (Cynthia) Reese of Palm Bay, Kristie (Drew) Cottee of Palm Bay; and Russell (Marsha) Reese of Lake Wort; Five grandchildren, Randall Reese Jr., Ashlyn (James) Heinsen, Austin (Ashley) Reese, Griffen Cottee, and Paige Cottee; and four great-grandchildren, Reese Heinsen, Everett Heinsen, Adelyn Reese and Arden Reese.
In addition to her parents and husband, MaryAnn was preceded in death by her three sisters, Helen Datko, Josephine Pascarella and Margaret Stillerman and her brother Joseph Bohac.
A Celebration of Life will be held in private.

Sending my deepest condolences and prayers to the family of this amazing woman.
Maryann was always such a beautiful woman inside and out, she was filled with so much happiness. If anyone were ever in need, she was one of the first people to offer any help she could. I was so blessed to have know this incredible woman, she was such a rock for me growing up, without her I don´t know what I would´ve done. She left such an impact on me and many others. I will miss my beautiful lady but it brings me so much comfort that she is reunited with her family and late husband.
