Mary Ann was born in Hammond IN, and grew up in Griffith IN.

Mary Ann was a high school cheerleader and graduated from Griffith High School in 1952. After graduation, she married her high school sweetheart, Bill Currier. They moved to Tuscaloosa where Bill attended University of Alabama. Mary Ann worked as a secretary at University of Alabama.

Mary Ann was a full-time homemaker as the family grew. She was a supportive room mother, and always present when the children arrived  home after school. When the children reached high school, Mary Ann returned to work in an assortment of secretarial jobs, and eventually found great pleasure working in a local Hallmark store. Writing letters and cards, and corresponding with family and friends was a great passion.

Mary Ann was deeply devoted to Bill and followed his lead in their life together. In 1974, they attended a spiritual growth conference, searching for a more meaningful life. The Gospel was delivered telling of Christ's sacrifice for our sins, His burial, and His resurrection on the third day. Mary Ann gave her heart to Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior, and lived her life following Him.

Mary Ann's life changed when Bill died at the end of 2020. Her devotion to her Lord helped her day by day. She had many friends and received compassionate care at Prairie Lakes Assisted Living. Her health declined rapidly in recent weeks. Heartfelt thanks are extended to the staff at Prairie Lakes Assisted Living for their kind and loving care.
