Mary Anne spent several years traveling with her husband Dan. They toured 46 states together in their motorhome and enjoyed nature walks and bird watching, thus fostering Mary Anne’s love of nature and all of God’s creation. Mary Ann’s favorite time of day was sunset. She would marvel at the colors and often expressed her awe at God’s handiwork! Mary Anne and Dan made their home in Sun City Center in 2010 where Mary Anne became an avid card player, a red hatter with the Purple Butterflies, and a driver for the Sun City Center Security Patrol.
Maryann’s love of the Lord brought her to Saint John The Divine Episcopal in Sun City Center. Here she was active in many volunteer positions within the church including The Daughters of the King, Compassionate Friends, lay ministry to the hospitalized, and the Flower Guild. Her church family and the friends that she made there were very important to her. All of them became very special people in her life. She will be deeply missed by her family, friends and neighbors.
Maryanne had a zest for life, a giving spirit, a beautiful smile and a deep love of God. A memorial service will be held on Jan. 4, 2020,at 11 a.m. at St. John The Divine Episcopal Church 1015 E.
