One of the pluses of retirement for Mary Ann Moran has been the time to take more than one class a semester at Forever Learning. Her father had taken classes in the early days of FLI and passed along his interest in and enjoyment of Father Putz’s gift to seniors.A life-long resident of South Bend, Mary Ann spent 40 years as a librarian at St. Joseph County Library, first as a children’s librarian, finishing her career as Head of the Cataloging Department. She has been involved in community theatre for over 40 years, chiefly with South Bend Civic Theatre, where she served on the Board of Directors for several terms. She also spent two years on the board of The Art League, serving as Secretary. She is a volunteer gardener at the Copshaholm gardens on the History Museum campus, and spends Friday afternoons in the library of her granddaughter’s grade school. For several years she helped Deborah Meyer at the Casaday Costume Collection. Mary Ann is also active at Holy Cross Parish as a lector and Eucharistic Minister.
