Mary Ann Maroul died on June 28, 2023. She was born on October 25, 1940 in Guy, Texas. During her elementary years, she attended Guy and Needville schools. She finished her freshman year in Needville High School and entered the Congregation of the Incarnate Word and Blessed Sacrament where she graduated from high school. She received her B. A. degree from the University of St. Thomas in Houston. For several years she taught first grade in the Catholic schools in the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston. While teaching, she was passionate about her students, and was creative and decorative in the classroom. Later, due to health conditions, Mary Ann left the Congregation, and continued working in the business world.

Mary Ann was a kind and gentle spirit who was very faithful and devoted to the Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament and to her love of God. She was hard-working and very loyal to her employers. She was blessed with a creative flair for decorating, especially birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, etc. She had a fervent love for the outdoors and gardening, using her green thumb for planting and creating flower arrangements. She had a deep love for her nieces and nephews that included babysitting and never forgetting any birthday. Mary Ann had a true dedication for cheering on the Astros and rarely missed watching or listening to a game. Another passion she had was listening to and enjoying various types of music.

Mary Ann was preceded in death by her parents, Joseph R. and Louise T. (Pavlicek) Maroul, two brothers, Joseph (Joe) and Alois, two sisters, Frances Newsom and Mildred Smith, and brothers-in-law, Joe T. Newsom, Laren Wigington, and Charlie Zwahr.
