The “Fish Fry” was the mainstay of family gatherings supported by the passion of fishing that Joe and Mary Ann shared. From winning many competitive rodeos to just spending time together on the water, it became the source that fueled countless family gatherings. She enjoyed spending time with her children and grandchildren, but her favorite time was with Joe on the water. She also enjoyed spending time in her yard gardening and bird watching. She was a member of the St. Gerard Majella Mothers Bowling League for 40 years, a member of the St. Gerard Majella Altar Rosary Society, St. John the Baptist Catholic Church Altar Rosary Society, and St. John the Baptist Bereavement Committee.
The family offers their heartfelt thanks to the staff of Our Lady of the Lake Hospital and St. Joseph Carpenter Hospice House for their courteous and compassionate care.
