She grew up, the only sister of Russell and Clayton, on a farm, outside of the small town of Delft, Minnesota. She prayed with her mother to accept Christ in January of 1948 and was baptized by Rev. Thomas Walker on May 13th, 1951.

Mary Ann Graduated from Mountain Lake High School in 1955 and that fall she attended Grace College of the Bible where she met her future husband Marvin (Marv) Wall, whom she married on June 28th, 1957. She graduated with a Diploma in 1958. Wherever their ministry took them – North Carolina, Kansas, Manitoba, Alberta, South Dakota, Montana and Nebraska – Mary Ann made a home and supported Marv by playing the piano, teaching Sunday School, helping lead youth groups, piloting boats, driving snowmobiles and cooking for camps, while caring for a growing family. She also led women’s Bible studies, was a Commander in the Awana program and hosted guests for dinner or offered a place to stay. She enjoyed travelling across the United States, Canada, Israel, Europe, Australia and New Zealand.

Her husband, Marv, was in pastoral roles in the church until he passed away and Mary Ann was his faithful support.  In recent years, she enjoyed joining a Bible study, prayer meetings, mentoring younger women and deepening relationships with women of her age. She enjoyed stable health with minor issues until she had a major stroke on Saturday, March 19th. Her condition soon worsened and she went to be with Jesus five days later.

She is survived by five children: Marjorie Allison; Mark and Judy Wall; Marlen and Kim Wall; Marcia and Sam Kroeker and Marcel and Michelle Wall as well as 15 grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. She is preceded by her parents, her brother Clayton and his wife Mary, her husband Marv and her son-in-law Grahame Alison.

10/29/1941 – 3/21/2016

Of Omaha, survived by daughter Shelly (Rich) Howdle, son Jeff (Lisa) Morris, 5 Grandchildren, Mother Florence Weigel, Aunt Ann Maynard.

Our Mom was a very strong, independent woman.  Her family was her happiness.  She loved us, loved her pets, yet her biggest love was her 5 grandchildren. She worked for HUD for 30 years and then Mail Solutions for 10 years.  Anxiously awaiting her first grandchild, she retired from HUD when Alex was born.  Over the next several years, 4 more grandchildren were added to the family, Ally, Sam, Ellie and Carson.  She was a proud Grandma and loved to spend time with the grandkids.  Mom was very generous and was always there for us, usually before we knew we needed her. Despite her many health issues she always persevered.  We take comfort in knowing Mom is in heaven, walking without pain.  She was taken from us too soon, too quickly. We love and miss you Mom….until we see you again.

Memorial Service 10:00 A.M. Saturday (3/26/2016) at Roeder Mortuary 108th Street Chapel.  Memorials to American Animal Hospital.  Private family interment.
