She rode her own bike for many years and was the oldest active living member of the Golden Eagles Motorcycle Club. She was very proficient at handicrafts including knitting, crocheting, needlepoint and loved puzzles and playing games on her iPad. She was full of life and never complained about her health or problems. Mary Ann was a good listener and always gave good advice. She was a very active lady for her age and her mind was always sharp as a tack, we are so grateful for that. She was a member of Holy Trinity Lutheran Church and had a strong faith with our Lord.
