She enjoyed cooking, traveling, singing in the Church choir, square dancing, watching sports (huge Penn State fan), music (especially big band singers) and her greatest joy was spending time with her grandsons. Mary Ann had a larger-than-life personality with a huge laugh and an even bigger heart. She was kind and generous, yet tough, competitive and always spoke her mind.
