Mary Anne Lovdahl, as a winter visitor, worked at Arizona State University in the temporary secretarial pool.

Mary Anne is survived by her daughter and son-in-law, her sister-in-law, , 8 nieces and nephews, and 6 honorary "kids" along with SO MANY others who will miss their loving aunt, second mom, beloved Godmother, honorary grandmother, special neighbor and friend.

Mary Anne is preceded in death by her husband, her parents, and her "close as siblings" cousins. She is also preceded in death by her second family, her parentsin-law, five brothers-in-law and four sisters-in-law who she loved very much along with countless relatives, friends and neighbors who will welcome her with a loving embrace.

In lieu of flowers or gifts, the family requests that memorials be made in Mary Anne's name to Augustana Lutheran Church, Andover, IL ( www.andoverlutheran.org ) or Lutheran Social Services of the Southwest ( www.lss-sw.org ).

In the spirit of Mary Anne, we also are collecting donation items for the Orion Food Pantry and Rock Island Animal Shelter at both the Celebration of Life and the open house.
