Mary Ann Zuchowski, age 82 of Grand Rapids, MI formerly of Manistee, MI went to be with the Lord early Wednesday morning March 20, 2019 in Grand Rapids, MI.

She was born on November 20, 1936 in Manistee, MI, daughter of the late Anthony J. and Isabelle (Szuszetzky) Edel.  She attended Manistee High School graduating with the class of 1955.  Mary Ann married Stanley Zuchowski on October 28, 1961 at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Manistee.  He preceded her in death on July 24, 2008.

Mary Ann will be best remembered by the love she gave to everyone through her cooking & baking.  Her day was complete if she had a full table of loved ones to feed and always had a cake or pie in the ready.  Her love of nourishing others was not just spent on people.  Mary Ann loved to feed the birds, squirrels, and any other creature that happened to wander on to her front porch.  She loved to tend to her many gardens and wouldn't hesitate to take anyone on a tour of them.  She also enjoyed knitting and crocheting for any one or any animal in need.  She also had a wonderful sense of humor and was the great jokester.

She is survived by her twin sister Rose Marie Showalter, two daughters, Polly Ann Zuchowski of West Virginia & Holly Ellis and son-in-law Luke of Caledonia, Michigan, and  grandchildren Christine, Isabella, & Anna Ellis, and by a son, Daniel Zuchowski of Colorado, grandchildren, Justin, Natasha, & Zachary Zuchowski.   She is also survived by her beloved niece Pam Gayan and husband Todd.
