Mary Ann was a devoted wife to Phillip C. Summers, Sr., with whom she shared a loving 62 years of marriage. She was a proud and loving mother to her daughter, Sherrie Wright and her husband Michael Wright, and her son, Phillip Summers, Jr. and his wife Lisa Summers. She is survived by her sister, Jennie Lee Thiem, her sister-in-law, Mary Culp, and was preceded in death by her sisters, Frances Thiem and Sarah Carner. Her family was the center of her world, and she found her greatest joy in the time spent with them.

She was a cherished grandmother to Macy Wohleb and her husband Lane Wohleb, Sarah Helm and her husband Justin Helm, and Lauren Summers. Nothing brought her more happiness than watching her family grow, and she was especially blessed to become a great-grandmother to Cori Wohleb.

Mary Ann dedicated much of her life to raising her family, creating a home filled with love, support, and stability. She began her career working for Lykes Brothers Steamship Co. in Galveston, where she met the love of her life. She later contributed her time working with Farmers Insurance and Hitchcock ISD, where she was known for her reliability, kindness, and strong work ethic. In every role she held, she touched the lives of others through her genuine care and selfless nature.

Above all, Mary Ann expressed her love through caring for her family. She found her greatest joy in cooking for those she loved, bringing everyone together around the table, and making sure each person felt at home.

She will be remembered for her gentle spirit, her caring heart, and the way she made everyone feel loved and welcomed. She carried herself with grace and quiet strength, leaving a lasting impression on all who had the privilege of knowing her.

With a strong and faithful heart, Mary Ann now rests in peace, reunited with loved ones who have gone before her. Her family finds comfort in knowing she is in the presence of the Lord, watching over them with the same love and care she gave so freely in life.
