Dates
Mary Anne was born in Plainview. Her parents were migrant workers at the time. She was raised in Big Lake. She graduated in 1976 from Reagan County High School. She was a member of St. Margaret’s Catholic Church. She was a single mom who worked very hard to raise her children. She worked along Jo Alice Poehler making meals for the Elderly in home bound and Trailblazers. After this she was a waitress for local restaurant owner Francis Tijerina. Later, she worked for retail and ended working her last 14 years at Stripes. She loved going to dances and enjoyed music very much. She will be remembered for her kindness, lending a helping hand, infectious wittiness, and smile. These last few years she gained two special friends, Josie Goodloe and Kathy Smith, they met every Tuesday for Tacos, and Thursday and Friday at the local bar. Although she will be missed dearly, she has left mounds of memories to reminisce. She loved her grandchildren very much always bragging how smart they were and enjoying every second she could be around them.
