Mary Ann Feuerborn
Mary Ann Feuerborn, 58, of Benton City passed away peacefully on Saturday, January 25, 2003. She was born in Portland, Oregon January 26, 1944 the youngest of 11 children.
Her family moved to Benton City, WA in 1953 where she attended school, graduating in 1962. Mary Ann left the area for a time, returning to Benton City in 1983. Mary Ann was employed as a home healthcare worker. When her mother became bed ridden, she took on the responsibility of caring for her in the home until her death four years later.
Mary Ann was a proud American. A 20-year member of the Benton City American Legion Auxiliary Unit 115, she served her Unit as President, among other offices and chairmanships. She was currently Unit Historian and honored to be serving her second term as 12th District President. She was a member of the 08/40 Benton Franklin Salon #479 where she held the position of Le Demi Chapeau Deuxieme. She took great delight playing Mrs. Clause at the American Legion's annual children's Christmas party.
Mary Ann had the unique gift of genuine listening, always willing to lend support, gracing those around her with a quick and sassy humor that was all her own. She enjoyed the large family gatherings and was the favorite Auntie of numerous nieces and nephews.

My name is Andrea Feuerborn Noble, Glen Feuerborn’s daughter. When my grandparents moved to the Tri-Cities area in the state of Washington, Mary Ann moved in with us, so that she could finish high school in Portland. Mary Ann’s music interests are the roots and foundation to the music that I grew to love and expand on, so much so, that when the Beatles came out, I didn’t think that they would make it!
