Mary Ann Svoboda

May 23, 1928 — April 18, 2025

Saint Louis

Svoboda, Mary Ann (nee Rosemann)

Beloved wife of the late Miro; dear mother of the late Michael (Marilyn), Linda (Steve) and Vicky (the late Tom). Dear grandmother, great grandmother, aunt, sister, sister-in-law and friend to many.

Mary Ann was also preceded in death by her parents Martin & Mary (nee Krainz) Rosemann and her brothers.

Mary Ann was deeply loved by family and friends and all were fortunate to have her in their lives.  She enjoyed spending time with all.   The word stranger was not in her vocabulary as she talked with anyone.  She came from a large family of six brothers with her being the youngest and only girl.  Boy, were there lots of laughs and stories there!  Mary Ann enjoyed playing cards, reading, sewing and arts and crafts.  Decorating the house for the holidays was a love of hers with Christmas being her favorite.  She exercised every day and enjoyed winning three gold medals in the Senior Olympics at the age of 95.  She was a kind and helpful person and her church family was important to her.  Mary Ann was active and loved to keep busy.  Her laughter, smile and love will forever be with those who knew and loved her.  She leaves behind many cherished memories and will be missed beyond words.
