Mary Anne was a member of the Mt. Hope Cumberland Presbyterian Church for 90 years. She was the most unselfish person with a heart as big as Texas.

She was preceded in death by her mother Ida Sue Hawthorne, husband of 43 years Billy Bob Trimble, brother William Hawthorne, sister Francis Sue Hawthorne, and her nephew David Brown.
