She was a homemaker and mother to four wonderful children who were the love of her life: Terri (Bob) Ruggiero, Greg (Joann) Hawkins, Mitch (Fredda) Hawkins, and Amy (Mark) Harrold.

Mary Ann was predeceased by her husband Ellis. She is survived by her brother Peter Casper and his wife Janet who was more like a sister than a sister-in-law. She is also survived by her children, grandchildren, many nephews and nieces and some dear friends.
Those who knew Mary Ann had known her love of flowers and having wonderful gatherings. She and Ellis enjoyed many wonderful adventures together as they loved traveling, and especially cruising. Mary Ann prided herself in that her greatest achievement in life was her family and her friends of many years, who she was always there for when they needed help and encouragement. Her family was her source of joy.
