A devoted wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, great-great grandmother and faithful child of God.

Mary Ann is preceded in death by her beloved husband of 66 years, C. Arthur Gill. Their marriage was a testament to enduring love, partnership, and faith — a bond strengthened by prayer, devotion, and a lifetime of shared memories.

Mary Ann lived her life with a gentle spirit and unwavering devotion to her Savior. Her faith was the foundation of everything she did, shaping the way she loved, served, and cared for her family and community.

For 59 years, Mary Ann served the Lord as a prayer warrior lifting her family, her church, and her community in constant, heartfelt prayer. Her intercession was steady, powerful, and full of love. For 19 years she was a cherished and faithful member of Pentecostal Faith Church at 30 Cain Ave. in New Miami, Ohio, where she worshipped joyfully and found deep fellowship among her church family.

Mary Ann possessed a voice that could only be described as angelic. Her singing brought joy to all who heard her, and the Holy Spirit moved through every note she lifted in praise. Her music was a ministry — comforting, uplifting, and filling the sanctuary with God’s presence.

Mary Ann loved everyone around her with a rare and genuine warmth. When you visited her home, her first words were always, “Are you hungry? Let me make you something to eat.” Her hospitality was an extension of her heart — generous, thoughtful, and overflowing with love.

Mary Ann was a wonderful grandmother, always striving to make each grandchild feel loved, valued, and special. Her gentle words, warm hugs, and thoughtful gestures created memories that will be cherished for generations. She will be remembered for her kindness, her devotion, her gentle strength, and her lifelong commitment to God and family. Mary Ann’s legacy lives on in the hearts of all who were blessed to know her.
