Mary Ann Owens, age 76, of Scranton entered heaven to be with God the father, Jesus his son, and the Holy Spirit on Oct. 28, 2014. Born in Scranton on Aug. 8, 1938, to Helen and Herman Buss. She was baptized in St. Ignatius Church, where she would later be married by her uncle, Father (Abbot) Michael Lensing, to her late husband, Joe Harley Owens, in 1958. She graduated from St. Scholastic High School in Fort Smith in 1956 and retired from Cloyes Gear Co. after 33 years.

Always known for having an open door, Mary Ann opened her home to family and friends for all holidays. She will be remembered for her great cooking, especially her dressing at Thanksgiving, Christmas and at Easter. She was always busy, even after retirement. She built her third home, loved gardening, was especially proud of her manicured lawn and colorful flower beds, cleaned and cooked for several priests at St. Ignatius Church, where she especially enjoyed washing and ironing the church linens. She will be greatly missed by all who loved and knew her.
