Mary Anne was married to Melvin J. Crochet for over 55 years and during their time together traveled the world while in the Air Force. Her greatest memories are from England where she lived for 4 years and was passionate about collecting Antiques. After their Air Force days, she lived in both Texas and Louisiana, finally building her dream home in Wheaton, IL. She was a career legal secretary and loved working and understanding the law. She used her many legal skills to help family and friends with their legal, real estate and financial planning. Mary Anne was a remarkable cook and often brought her Italian heritage to the table, her spaghetti and meatballs being her signature dish. She fell in love with South Haven, MI and the beaches which started an annual trip that lasted over 15 years. She would host her kids and grandchildren to enjoy the beach which then became known as "Nana's Beach".

Nana is survived by her sons, Matthew and Martin, daughter-in-law Lisa and four grandchildren: Dillon, Christina, Colton, Samantha. Her fiancé Terry Zabor and a number of other loving relatives and close friends.
