The two built an incredible life together and moved to Wilmington in 1979, she loved living here. They were so proud of their children and grandchildren, celebrating all of their achievements. Mary Ann loved watching her family flourish and enjoyed cheering them on at football games, track meets, wrestling tournaments, baseball games, swimming events, and dance recitals. She was so proud of her grandchildren when they both graduated from East Carolina University. Mary Ann loved to take her daughter gambling. They had the best days going out of town to play the slots, hoping for the \xE2\x80\x9CBig Win.” Mary Ann was known for her famous homemade chocolate cake, apple pies, applesauce, and rhubarb sauce, and her blueberry crunch, she liked to take to the office. She made sure that her granddaughters Hannah and Alysha received a cookbook filled with her family recipes.

She was well known in the real estate industry and worked in her field for over 45 years. She started out in sales and moved up to management. She was a BIC for many years, she really enjoyed mentoring and helping everyone, and honoring her “Top Dogs”. She made many friends throughout her Real Estate career and was looked up toby many. Mary Ann loved animals, especially her grand dogs, Fisher, Fort, and Saydie, and her own furry friend, Sarge.
She was a loyal wife, mother, mother in law, and grandmother. Mary Ann never hesitated to take on the mother role for her extended family and grandchildren and would let them know when she had to reprimand them…if necessary. She welcomed all of them with open arms and always made sure to show them the best of her love. Mary Ann was also a supporter of children with Down Syndrome.
