Mary Ann Cary, age 91, of Colorado Springs, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, December 15 at her home, surrounded by her family.

Born May 24, 1930 and raised in Evans City, PA., she was the daughter of the late Merle and Leola McCune. She married John F. Cary in 1953.

She graduated from Muskingum College in 1952 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Education. She taught elementary school in Cleveland, Ohio before getting married, then devoted her life to being an Air Force wife and stay at home mom.

Being stationed throughout seven U.S. states and in Europe provided a dynamic and enriching environment for their family. After ultimately settling in Colorado Springs where they called home for 49 years, she and her husband John continued to enjoy traveling and she became quite active in the community.

Her volunteer efforts included the Get Set Preschool at First Presbyterian Church, where she also served as a Deacon; Colorado School for the Deaf and Blind; and the American Cancer Society.

She is survived by a son, John Cary of Salt Lake City, Utah; daughter Nancy (Cary) Wermer and her husband, Alan of Toledo, Ohio; Sisters-In-Law Barbara and Natalie Cary; and cousin Jerri Cogdell.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, Colonel John Cary, USAF; Aunts Claire and Fern McCune; Uncles Lyle, Troy, Leigh; and Cousin Tom McCune.
