Mary Anne Neumann

Mary Anne Neumann passed away peacefully on December 31, 2023. Mary Anne was born in Lemmon, South Dakota to Gotlieb and Emilie Stoll.
In 1952, after marrying Herman Neumann, she moved to California where they first opened and ran a gas station in the Bostonia area of El Cajon. Soon thereafter, they started a bus line and Mary Anne drove the bus route for Convair.

Just a few that benefited from Mary Anne's generosity: Heart to Heart, Doctors without Borders, Pheasants Forever Wildlife Conservation, St. Joseph's Indian School, 1st Lutheran Church, 1st Lutheran Outreach programs and many, many others.
