Passed suddenly on November 1st, 2026, at her home in Richland, WA.

Long time resident of Philadelphia, she worked in the legal profession for over 30 years and served in the military – Air Force for 4 years.

Mary Ann was known for her adventurous spirit and giant smile. Her quick wit and sharp tongue kept everyone on their toes and laughing. Her love of family, friends, and cats were top priority. She found joy in life’s simple pleasures: cooking a delicious meal, listening to music, and enjoying a nice glass of wine. An amazing baker, she loved sharing what she made with others. She adored children’s movies, Sesame Street, and cartoons; with a special fondness for Tigger & Pooh. These passions made her uniquely Mary Ann.
