Mary Ann Martin's Obituary
Visitation will be held from 5 to 7:00 p.m. on Monday, August 5, 2024, at Rader Funeral Home, Longview, for Mary Ann Martin, 85, who passed away peacefully Wednesday, July 31, 2024.
Ms. Martin was born June 27, 1939, to Homer “H.L.” Martin and Dessie Ruth Tidwell Martin in High Island, TX. She had two brothers, Matthew & Wade, and a sister, Mahala, whom she would be meeting for the first time in Heaven.
Ms. Martin grew up in Longview. She was a member of the Lobo Marching Band, graduated from Longview ISD, and attended S.F.A. Afterwards, she served as the CEO and President of Total Packaging. Not only was she a successful businesswoman she also donated to the Catholic Church and various charities. She always remembered to put others before herself, giving to others, and blessing them as well.
Before her health began to fail, she traveled extensively and particularly loved the casinos and fine restaurants. We will miss her happy disposition with her smile and memorable laugh.
Left to cherish her memory are her cousins, friends, and special friend/caregiver, Judy Bandaries. A special thank you to Dr. Sreeman Jampana and HeartsWay Hospice for their care and support.
