Mary Ann enjoyed needlepoint and cross stitch. Her favorite teams were the Cleveland Indians and Cleveland Browns.

The family personally thanks Lake Vista of Cortland and Armstrong Memory Care of Warren for taking great care of our mom.  Your compassion and kindness did not go unnoticed.  She called both facilities home.
