In the early eighties she bought and remodeled a home in Bedford for her parents.
In 1979 she married Frank Pascoe and moved to Bedford from Pittsburgh in order to care for her father at home and to be close to her son Jack and his family.  In 2010 Maryann moved to Thousand Palms, CA to be near her daughters.  Both Annette and Zandy cared for her during the last number of years.
Maryann was a devoted daughter, loving mother and grandmother and instilled an appreciation of music and education into the lives of her children and grandchildren. She had a love of photography, flowers and home improvement. Her faith was an important part of her life.
