Mary Ann Rohrer, 86, North Manchester, Indiana, passed away on January 11, 2021 at Timbercrest Healthcare Center, North Manchester. An only child, Mary Ann was born on December 23, 1934 in Bippus, Indiana, to the late Ernest and Clara (Roberts) Gugle. At the age of nine, Mary Ann’s father died, and her mother later remarried Millard Dickey.
Shortly after graduating from Chester High School in 1952, Mary Ann married John David Rohrer on July 13, 1952. The two were wed for sixty-five years before John passed away on August 8, 2017. During their marriage, Mary Ann worked at Blue Flame Gas, North Manchester, Jack’s Wholesale Greenhouse (Messer Greenhouse), North Manchester, and the Liberty Mills Post Office, Liberty Mills, Indiana. Mary Ann’s greatest joy, however, was working as a homemaker. She loved to be with her three children and especially her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, who became accustomed to seeing their grandmother and going on golf cart rides. Mary Ann supported her family in whatever they wanted to do, and their happiness was paramount to her.
Mary Ann was not just generous to only her family; she also volunteered her time for those in need. She also found peace and perspective in her gardens. She had a deep fondness for tending to her flowers and was a gardener extraordinaire. Mary Ann also found happiness in watching the Purdue Boilmakers, especially their basketball team. Mary Ann attended church at The Chapel in Fort Wayne, Indiana, and during the winter months, John and Mary Ann lived in Bonita Springs, Florida.
The loving memory of Mary Ann Rohrer will be forever cherished by her son, David (Mara) Rohrer, Jeffersonville, Indiana; daughters, Vicki Korreckt, Huntington, Indiana, and Sue (Tom) Sinex, Fort Myers, Florida; ten grandchildren and ten great-grandchildren. Mary Ann was preceded in death by her parents, Ernest and Clara Gugle; step-father, Millard Dickey; and husband, John David Rohrer.
