On April 4, 1964, she married her husband Lorenzo Iturriria. They spent many years together raising a family and living in Bakersfield and the Sierra Nevadas. MaryAnn was a good mother and wife who was very hard working and loyal. MaryAnn loved her family and cherished spending time with them while enjoying a nice meal and all talking together. This meant so much to her in her life. She also loved her sweet dogs Gracie and Luke who gave her so much joy. She missed her dear Lorenzo very much and they are dancing in Heaven together.
