I think of Mary Ann often as I work on our shared hobby of Genealogy. She so graciously shared what she had and it enriched my efforts and what I have been able to share with others. I think of her sharing stories with all the other cousins, aunts and uncles she has joined in heaven. We love you all.

Having taught at McCluer North High School for over 45 years, I had the opportunity to meet all of the Strauss family who attended MN in its early years. Eventually, I was introduced to Mary Ann, as well as to the older siblings. I was immediately impressed with her calm demeanor and her ability to imbue each of her children with a deep concern for each other. I fondly remember being included in family celebrations at their home, and she always made me feel welcome. In reading the obituary I could not help but be impressed with her legacy of 20 grandchildren (many with great Irish names!) and four great-grandchildren. I will always remember the Strauss family with great affection because of their connection to MN, and I will always admire Mary Ann for being the matriarch of such an amazing family. My deepest sympathy to all of her family.
