Mary Ann was a lifelong parishioner of Christ the King Church and alumnus of CKS Class of ’75. She graduated from Father Ryan High School in 1979 and attended nursing school at TSU. Mary Ann’s passion for nursing was born from her love of caring for others. She happily and energetically served, beginning her career at St. Thomas Hospital, and then with Dr. Ben Alper (deceased) and finally with Dr. Hyatt Sutton. Mary Ann will be greatly missed by her patients, co-workers and friends in the health care industry. She dearly loved her patients and treated them all with an extraordinary amount of care and dedication.

She was honored with the NCEA Distinguished Graduate Award from Christ the King School in 2002 for her devotion to serving others. She was a member of Christ the King Catholic Church and coached soccer many years at Christ the King School, even after her sons graduated. She enjoyed her gardening club friends (Evening Belles) and volunteering at church and school, most recently serving on the leadership team for the capital campaign for construction of the new gym and classrooms. She will always be remembered for her many good works, her generous giving nature, her laughter and her beautiful smile. She leaves behind an indelible mark on all those whose lives she touched.
