Mary Ann Pagels

August 8, 1947 — March 14, 2022

Mary Ann Pagels, or known as Nana by her loved ones, passed away unexpectedly on March 14, 2022, at the age of 74. She was born on August 8, 1947, in Greenwich, Connecticut to the late Edward and Stella Leonard.Mary Ann is survived by her daughter, Wendy (John) Huffman; grandchildren, Paige (Cory) Hildebrandt, Brianna (Patrick Yergler) Tribbett, Lance Tribbett, and Reagan Tribbett; great-grandchildren, Beckham and Bailey Hildebrandt; brother, Stanley (Evelyn) Leonard; niece, Darlene (Richard) Rinaldi; nephew, Stanley Jr.; cousin, Ann Marie (Raul) Miranda; other family and special friends, Jonathan Huffman, Brittany Huffman, Dalton Davis, Jon (Nicole) Pagels, Lynne Peddycord, and Kathleen Poe. Mary Ann was preceded in death by her parents and son, Richard Pagels.A dedicated and stalwart individual, Mary Ann worked for the South Bend Medical Foundation for over 30 years. Family and friends of Mary Ann knew her as a caring and considerate soul. She would never hesitate to join you in conversation or fail to celebrate your accomplishments. Always giving, Mary Ann had no reservations of handing out gifts, be it her legendary homemade cheesecake, recent purchases from QVC, or winnings at a casino. This tendency for gift giving was perhaps most apparent with her-some would say excessive-spoiling of grandchildren and great grandchildren on holidays and birthdays.Mary Ann's kindness was not just confined to people. Her love extended to those of the furry variety, as evidenced by her care and nurturing of Toto and Buttons and her many other cats. Most recently, Mary Ann had been attempting to keep up with all the new trends, such as texting on cellphones, applying filters on Snapchat, and dancing on TikTok. The loss of Mary Ann is felt by her many loved ones, who will cherish the memories and experiences they had with her.Visitation for Mary Ann will take place on Thursday, March 17, 2022, at the McGann Hay Granger Chapel, 13260 SR 23, enter off Cherry Rd., from 5-7 p.m. A graveside service will take place at Chapel Hill Memorial Gardens on Monday, March 21, 2022 at 1:00 p.m.Donations can be made in Mary Ann's name to the Humane Society of St. Joseph Co., 2506 Grape Rd., Mishawaka, IN 46545.To send private condolences, please visit: http://www.mcgannhay.com/condolences.html
