During this time, she had two children, Rebecca Jackson and Jason Tipton. She was involved in the Boy Scouts of America, the Girl Scouts of the USA and many other activities that her children were involved in. In 2001, the family moved to Conway, AR in order to be closer to the family business, Conway Block Co., Inc.

Ed, my husband, and I send our prayers out to Paul, Rebecca, Jason, their spouses and children in the loss of Mary Ann. What a wonderful person who will be missed by so many. We were fortunate to see Mary Ann, Paul, Rebecca and Mary Rose on July 7. We have known Paul and Mary Ann for more than 50 years and were good friends living close to them from 1974 until we moved to Colorado in October 1980. They came to visit us several times and we tried to get together when we would make trips to Arkansas. We really enjoyed getting to visit with them last month. Love to all.

Mary Ann had a gift for hospitality and service. It was always fun being with her at the lake. She cooked we ate, she did the dishes, we made wicker baskets. She was a beautiful addition to our family. The Florida cousins of Paul
