At the age of 5, Mary Anne accepted Jesus Christ as her personal Lord and Savior. This faith in Jesus Christ is what kept the smile on her face while battling stage 4 cancer for over 3 years. It sustained her through numerous surgeries, radiation therapies and chemotherapies. Her bright smile encouraged many people and was a testimony of her walk with the Lord.

Mary Anne had a love for life. She loved spending time with her family and friends. Her brother-in-law, niece and nephews were some of her favorite people. She enjoyed food and loved sharing it with her people. She was adventurous and even parasailed and skydived from 14,000 feet. She was a big help (gopher) to her dad and Uncle Mike while building her parents' home in 1997. She loved music and it was the center of many of her travels. She enjoyed many concerts and Broadway musicals. She saw Wicked several times with friends and has traveled as far as New Mexico to see it performed. Mary Anne loved to go on cruises. She was an avid New York Yankees fan who loved to talk about them with her Uncle Al. She loved New York City and her last adventure was a trip there with her sister and one of her best friends.
