Mary Ann Winter, daughter of Kenneth and Mary Hawkinson, born Aug 6, 1934 in Grand Rapids passed away peacefully in the presence of her daughters on December 20, 2019.

She married James Winter on Sep 5, 1952 and their family spent most of their life in sunny CA. She and Jim also had a wonderful experience living in Australia later in life, when Jim worked for Rockwell. They moved back to Grand Rapids to retire. She enjoyed camping, bowling, spending time with her dogs, family and friends. She enjoyed hosting holiday meals. She baked the best bread and loved being in the pool with kids and grandkids.

Mary Ann is preceded in death by her parents, Mary and Kenneth; husband, Jim; brother, Kenneth Jr.; and grandson, Ricky Seaver.

She is survived by her brothers, Keith (Alice) Hawkinson, Jim (Sandi) Hawkinson, and David (Donna) Hawkinson; daughters, Susan (Bill) Hunter and Sheri (Dan) Virden; granddaughters, Jamie (Erik) Nelson, Kaitlyn (Trent) Beise and Kristy (Kenton) Lawson; step grandchildren Brad Virden, Morgan (Travis) Woodbury, and Amber Virden; great-grandchildren, Hunter, Harper and Bennett; step great-grandchildren, Maverick, Titus, Beaudry, Riley, Kennedy and Dylan; and special friend, Ray Finberg.
