Mary Ann was the matriarch and glue that held our family together.  Her family came first in her life with her heart of gold and caring for all she knew.  She stood her ground and gave her opinion when asked or not.  The toughest 90 pounds you would ever know.  Mary Ann enjoyed cooking; especially at holidays and she loved going gambling with family.   Enjoyed the beach and water sports in her younger years, dancing and an avid reader; a regular patron at the local library.  But more than anything, she loved her family and was so proud of each one.

Visitation will be Thursday, November 17th from 5 to 7pm at Klein funeral home in Tomball.  Graveside services on Friday, November 18th at 11am at Klein Memorial Park in Pinehurst.
