MaryAnn Carlucci

MaryAnn Carlucci died on June 12, 2025.

Born February 28, 1940, MaryAnn was the second and only daughter to John and Marietta Fitz of Toledo, OH. After enjoying a typical childhood with her older brother, Robert, and younger brother, Ray, she graduated from Scott High School in 1958. She was a cheerleader and played on the girls softball team at Scott, and Area Student Council Queen in her senior year. She attended Miami University of Ohio, where she met her first husband, David Supowit. MaryAnn moved to Las Vegas, NV, in May 1962, where she gave birth to her oldest child, Deborah, shortly thereafter. MaryAnn married her second husband, Eugene Beisner, with whom she had her second child, Robert Joseph. When she and Eugene divorced, MaryAnn supported herself and her young children by working as a cocktail waitress and casino cashier at the Horseshoe Hotel and Casino. She had a brief third marriage to Joseph Carlucci. When asked why she stayed in Las Vegas, MaryAnn responded that it was a great place to make a decent living while raising two children on her own.

MaryAnn loved the rain and would often "chase" rainclouds on weekends and vacations. One such trip took her to the Oregon coast where she found her happy place. When her grown kids moved back home to Las Vegas, she handed them the keys, told them to pay the bills and, in 1985, she moved to Newport, OR. She worked as a bartender until she purchased "The Trolley Car" - a hamburger and hot dog stand - which she ran successfully for several years. After selling the Trolley, MA bartended at the Barge Inn until she became a school bus driver which she continued to do until she retired.

MaryAnn loved to travel and visited Australia, Europe, Morocco and the British Isles. Her domestic travels took her across the U.S., including Alaska and Hawaii. She loved to play cards and was a jigsaw puzzle expert. Anyone who met her was immediately charmed by her wit and her sense of humor. Mary Ann was a very caring and supportive mother who loved her childen deeply. MaryAnn had a wonderful network of friends and neighbors in Oregon; after losing several friends and being impacted by COVID, she moved to Las Vegas to be closer to family. MaryAnn is survived by her beloved daughter, Deborah; and her son, Joseph, and his wife, Esther. She is also survived by her brothers, Robert and Ray; her sisters-in-law, Sally and Pam; her grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and nieces and nephews. In keeping with her wishes, MaryAnn will be cremated. A private memorial is planned for a future date.
