Mary Ann, my dear Cousin, was the most gentle and kindest of souls. She was courageous throughout her life journeys, embracing life’s joys with gratitude and its sorrows with faith and grace. What a beautiful role model and inspiration to us all.

To a beautiful woman and great mother, you will be missed Mary Ann. You were a huge part of our childhood and past on good ole Artesian. Whenever we needed a place to go, your doors were open, especially during those hot summer days for Bubba. We are all so lucky to have those memories and to have each other. Thank you for your kindness and big heart. We will be here for your Andrea and your boys. God bless you, Love, Leslie and the Pasternak family
