A lifetime Painesville Twp. Resident, Mary Anne was born on May 1, 1939 to Frank H. and Margaret (Kalman) Reynolds.

Mary Anne graduated from Riverside High School, class of 1957, and retired in 1998 as a Head Cashier for the former Fisher-Fazio/Giant Eagle Grocery Store. She loved laughing, comedy and practical jokes.  Mary Anne was generous to a fault, giving to multiple charities near and far.  She cared for her parents in their elderly years and enjoyed spending countless hours with her children and grandchildren.  She spent many hours being creative and you could often find her coloring or painting with her grandchildren.  A lover of sweets she perfected traditional Hungarian desserts and would sometimes try to add a healthy twist. Time spent with her husband was also treasured on their many vacations and casino trips. Her family was her life.

She is survived by her devoted husband John Stropkey, whom she married on August 22, 1959; children Phil Stropkey of Concord, Gigi (Robert) Houston of Indianapolis, IN; and Paul (Teresa) Stropkey of Painesville; grandchildren Chad and Eryn Tramel (Houston) and Adam and Matthew Stropkey; sister Bertha Jane (Glen) Humphrey of Clanton, AL. Mary Anne is preceded in death by her parents.
