Mary Ann had many different names. Mary, Min, Minnie, Auntie Minnie, Mary,Mom, Mama, Babchi. She lived life fully and happily everyday, often saying that there was never enough time in the day.

Mary Ann loved living on the farm, especially all the animals. She loved using the fresh eggs from the chickens for making her prize winning Chiffon cake.
Mary Ann had the sweetest smile and bluest sky blue eyes. She hummed when it rained and always thought positively, thinking of flowers blooming after. .Throughout her life she shared love and kindness to everyone she met. She could always find a ray of hope whenever things looked bad.
She was a lifelong member of Sts. Vladimir & Olga Ukrainian Catholic Church. She was known for wearing the most beautiful hats and sitting in the front row in church.
Mary Ann received the most loving and attentive care from PSW’s Jill, Denese, Paulina, Tina, Lisa and Ken. The family is very grateful for the excellent care.
As an expression of sympathy the family is requesting donation to the Sts. Vladimir and Olga Church Building Fund.
