Mary Ann was born in St. Cloud, Minnesota, on December 10th, 1932, to John and Margaret (Michaels) Stitch. At a very young age she worked hard to help care for her siblings after her mother passed away. Her hard work and determination followed her in life. Mary Ann lived most of her early adult life in St. Paul and moved to Wisconsin in 1976 to a hobby farm. She worked various jobs through her years but her work never stopped after a 9-5 job as she loved to garden at the farm and care for the animals.
She was active with friends and family as she enjoyed bowling and playing cards. It was a daily scene that she could be found watching birds and wildlife while at their countryside house by Grey Eagle, MN.
Mary Ann could accomplish anything she set her mind to. She was remembered by her grandchildren as the woman who could fix or sew anything. She always helped those in need and gave advice to those who wanted it. She cared greatly for others, especially her family. She will be greatly missed.
She is survived by her husband, Ted (Duane) Vance; three daughters Connie Wendt of Freeport, MN, Colleen Kaiser of Forest Lake, MN and Terry Stone of Knoxville, TN; stepchildren Jill (John) Ward of Woodbury, MN and Jeff Vance of Hugo, MN; grandchildren Dana (Kevin) Nusbaum, Thomas Mergens, Carmen Worms, Lauren (Christopher) Van Hove, Neil Worms, Courtney Koepke, Alex Austing, Marcus Kaiser, Tonya Vance, Tierra Vance, and Brandon Vance; and great-grandchild Jocelyn Niche; siblings Edward Stitch, Carl (Annette) Stich and Margaret Gangl.
