Mary Ann was an active member of her parish and a beautiful example of what it means to live one's faith.

She had a passion for many things, including cooking, live theatre, reading, sewing, singing, traveling, and gardening – all of which she has passed on to her children and grandchildren. As a true free spirit she took every opportunity presented to her to live the life that God created for her. Mary Ann belonged to the Bexar County Czech Heritage Society and was a long time volunteer usher at the Majestic Theater.
