Mary Ann and Frank enjoyed traveling and the mountain of Gatlinburg was one of their favorite places especially in the fall with the changing of the leaves. The beach and the love of the Outer Banks of North Carolina were locations they spent many enjoyable trips. She was a good cook and it pleased her serving her family. Coffee she loved and her favorite brand "JFG Coffee" which was very hard to find in our area. Mary Ann, Margaret Ann, Martha Ann and Jo Ann were a very special four. "Gal Pals" that maintained a friendship throughout her life. Nothing was more enjoyable than her grandchildren, Justin, Jessica and Stephanie not forgetting her feline "Bumps". Last but not least, the love of 33 years Frank, who brought happiness and joy being her best friend and companion.
