Mary Ann Saunders

Mary Ann Saunders August 30th, 1956 – March 13th, 2025

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Mary Ann Saunders, who left us on March 13th, 2025, at the age of 68. Mary Ann was born in Wayne, Michigan, on August 30th, 1956. She lived most of her life in Holtville, California, before moving to Saratoga, Wyoming, to live with her brother.

Mary Ann is survived by her four sons, Joseph Baker, Richard Baker, Anthony Spillers, and Christopher Bowen. She was the proud grandmother of many, as well as a cherished great-grandmother, aunt, and friend. Her love for her family was immeasurable, and she will forever be remembered for the joy and warmth she brought into the lives of those around her.

A woman of remarkable strength and resilience, Mary Ann lived her life embodying the belief, "Where there is a will, there is a way." No matter the challenges she faced, she always found a way to make things work, often with limited resources. This ability to persevere, coupled with her zest for life, made her an inspiration to those who knew her.

Mary Ann's kindness was legendary. Despite having little herself, she was always ready to give, offering heartfelt trinkets, candy, or food to anyone who visited. Her selflessness and generosity were matched only by the love she had for her family.

A memorial service will be planned at a later date. We will cherish Mary Ann's memory forever, and she will always be loved.
