Mary Ann was a lifelong and cherished friend to many. A true force of nature, Mary Ann lived life to the absolute fullest. She was the life of every party, a friend to everyone she met and someone who never hesitated to speak her mind- always with honesty, warmth and a touch of humor. Her vibrant personality lit up every room and her laughter was contagious. An avid card player, she could be found with a deck in her hands. She especially loved spending time at the riverboat casinos, embracing the excitement of the moment and enjoying the company of close friends. Dining out was one of her favorite pastimes, but nothing compared to the meals she prepared in her own kitchen. A proud matriarch, she lived for her family. One of her truest joys was cooking homemade Italian food that brought everyone together. Every gathering was a celebration of her heritage, her passion for food and her deep love for those around her.
