Mary Ann Wiesen

Mary Ann Wiesen, 92, of Bay City, Mich., passed away Wednesday, Nov. 2, 2022, at the Armstrong Rehabilitation and Nursing Center in Kittanning, PA
The daughter of the late Edith (Kirven) Higgins, she was born June 5, 1930, in Akron, OH.
Mary Ann was a licensed practical nurse. It was her life's work to care for others. Even after she became ill, she would be seen helping out someone by holding their hand or fixing a blanket. Mary's smile could light up any room; she had an incredibly huge heart and she was loved by so many. She enjoyed gardening, sewing, reading and birdwatching.
She is survived by four children: Steven Parkhurst and wife Connie, of Midland, Mich.; Daniel Parkhurst and wife Rhonda, of Indiana, PA; Susan Kunish and husband John, of Bremerton, Wash.; and Joy Lynn Wiesen, of Bay City, Mich.; three stepchildren, Tina Wiesen and husband Bob Syring, of Grand Rapids, Mich.; Charles Wiesen, of Bay City, Mich.; and James Wiesen, of Canada; two sisters, Margie Manor and husband Ken, of Bay City, Mich.; and Jane Higgins and wife Nancy, of Kissimmee, Fla.; and numerous loving grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces and nephews.
In addition to her mother, she was preceded in death by her first husband, Frank Parkhurst, and husband Charles "Bo" Wiesen; a stepdaughter, Kimberly Wiesen; a brother, Mickey Higgins; and a son, David Bennett Parkhurst.
