Mary Ann loved her time with her family and friends, and she will be greatly missed by them.

Everybody that knew her will always remember her for her beauty both inside and out, and will

never forget her smile. She loved to socialize and was always the life of the party. She also very

much enjoyed entertaining, especially for the holidays, which were her favorite time of the

year. She loved to travel, especially to beach destinations. But her favorite beach was always

Stone Harbor, NJ where she had a summer home that she loved for about 30 years. In addition

to that she enjoyed golfing, shopping and gardening, along with cooking and decorating, just a

few of the things that she was particularly good at doing. She might be gone, but will never be

forgotten.

She also had a successful career selling real estate which she enjoyed until her retirement.
