When she was asked what she wanted to be when she grew up, my mom said “a mom.” So, the day Paul was born her wish had been granted, and she said, “It was wonderful.” Seven years later, Kevin entered the world, followed by Timmy. Each blessing was “wonderful.”
For more than 40 years, Tom and Mary Ann Kohler lived across the street from St. David’s Parish, ensuring the Catholic faith was a foundation in their sons’ upbringings. As a member of the community, she worked bingo nights, was the life of the Halloween costume parties, baked for funeral luncheons, volunteered at the church picnic, cleaned the church, and tried her best to be vigilant about keeping her eye on the sometimes disappearing baby Jesus in the Nativity. She always had a smile on her face and always made people laugh with her.
She loved to take care of people, especially kids. They made her laugh, and even more, she loved hearing them laugh. As a mother, she loved unconditionally. Her advice was straightforward, sometimes tough to hear, and always right. The greatest decision she made was to stay home throughout her sons’ childhoods, so she was present for every celebration, scrape and bruise, and sometimes heartache. And her words never failed her when she was proud of her sons’ successes.
Beyond her role as a mom, Mary Ann was a babysitter, oftentimes referred to as “Mommy Mary Ann” by the little ones tearing up her house. She was an aunt, godmother, and great aunt, who loved her nieces and nephews as her own. She followed her boys to Holy Child School as the greatest cook whose hot dog Tuesdays were unmatched. Every student knew and loved her, and she knew every one of them. She had a soft spot for the troublemakers because she saw herself in them.
Her greatest blessings were her six grandchildren–Lane, Lia, Lydia, Lindsay, Elliot, and Emmett. She looked forward to spending time with them on Fridays, making lasting memories, and sharing her gifts with them. Watching Lane and Lia play soccer, baking with Lydia, talking back to Lindsay, sneaking sweets to Elliot, and hearing Emmett laugh brought her the greatest joy.
Countless people have been touched by the life and laughter of Mary Ann: family, best friends, co-workers, strangers at garage sales, and so many more. There are many lessons to be drawn from the experiences we shared with her, and some of the greatest lessons are still to be discovered.
In one of her journals, she had a poem from a “Dear Abby” newspaper clipping. It reads: “You can use most any measure/When you’re speaking of success./You can measure it in fancy home,/Expensive car or dress./But the measure of your real success/Is the one you cannot spend./It’s the way your kids describe you/When they’re talking to a friend.”
Mary Ann Kohler said she wanted to be a mom when she grew up. How blessed we are to call her our mom.
Such a wonderful, loving tribute to an incredible woman and our dear friend.

We thank Mary Ann for loving all the kids at St. David and Holy Child School. There is a special place in heaven for those who are kind to the little ones. We will miss her quick wit and her heart of gold.

I went to St. Augustine School with Mary Ann in the North City of St. Louis. We had great laughs, great memories & now I’ve gotten to know her much better from all the beautiful eulogies that I have read. We recently celebrated with our alum of St Augustine – all year reunion about 9 years ago. That was my last time to see her! I will remember her smile!

MaryAnn will always be remembered in my memories of her. She was a beautiful, selfless mother and grandmother. They are all she ever talked about at family reunions, funerals, and Facebook. She hated for me to call her “aunt” because we really weren’t too far apart in age-7 years at best. I used to tease her about it, because I could. At reunions, we would laugh, joke, and catch up on our kids’ growth and education. Sometimes life gets in the way of being closer to a person, visiting, and such, but she will sadly be missed because she was always in my heart as my funny, youthful, loving Aunt MaryAnn.

My dear cousin MaryAnn. We grew up together at St. Augustine’s parish and grade school in north St. Louis. When I fell and cut my knee pretty bad it was MaryAnn who ran for help. She always had that great smile and laugh. She was a joy to be around. She raised great kids which are a lasting reflection of her great and enduring qualities. We will miss her.

What a beautiful tribute to a wonderful Mom. She was a sheer pleasure to work with, and she raised several wonderful families, through her babysitting and Grand children. May each of her family be at peace with the love she shared.

I grew up with Mary Ann and I was and am her cousin Marla. Her mom, my aunt Bernice, was my After school babysitter as I went through Saint Augustine grade school! After school I would walk over to aunt Bernice’s, just two or three blocks from school and play with Mary Ann in her backyard. One time her dog chased me and I had to get up on top of the fence and walk the railing to be out of reach! At least I think it was her dog, but I sure remember the dog! I remember you, (Fr) Rich, Coming home in the afternoons with your school books under your arm as you chose to study for the priesthood….Those days I got away with calling you Dickie.
Sometimes Mary Ann came over to my house on Sullivan, that was only three or four blocks the other side of our school there. One time we went to Woolworth’s on Grand -and bought of all things orange lipsticks very much in vogue – tho’ we were only middle school age! God bless you,Mary Ann and I’m glad we were friends -that sparkled up our childhood PS Aunt Bernice was the kindest, loving soul you could find and stayEd that way all her life. My condolences to you Sissy a.k.a. KATE, and dear father RICH, and All.

I count myself very lucky to have been able to get to know her over the last 10 years both in person and through the way her children spoke of her.
I’m sure she counted herself just as blessed to be your mom as you did to be her sons.
Love you guys so much,

Dear Tom and Sons..plus all those she loved. In a school day lunch really was the most important time of the day and the most fun. She had the best way of turning some mushy government subsidy in to something that middle schoolers would actually eat. Thanksgiving meals became real feasts and Christmas break celebrations were surprised with real baked goods. The kitchen was a good place to be and watch. The school, parish and individuals always benefitted from Mary Ann saying, “Tom can do that.” Thanks Tom for being her love, Thanks boys for sharing her and thanks Mary Ann for loving us! Heaven is more joyful today.

I wish I had a few magic words to ease our pain from the passing of our friend, mom, sister, wife, grandma, aunt = Maryann. The tribute is perfect. Thank you.
Maryann was a wonderful person and if she loved you it was a deep and unconditional love.
I remember and love so many, many ‘funny things’ about her but my favorite is: when it was Paul’s, Kevin’s, or Tims birthday she always said ‘Happy Birthday Paul – you are my favorite. Happy Birthday Kevin – you are my favorite. Happy Birthday Tim – you are my favorite’. And you boys knew you were indeed her favorite.
Rest in the Lord Maryann ‘good and faithful servant’.

We will always remember Mary Ann as our kids favorite babysitter. They loved her because she always took the time to play with them and fix snacks for them. Her laugh was infectious and anytime we saw her she always had a story to tell. God speed Mary Ann, you will be missed.

She was simply put, THE best! And please let it be known that her hot dog lunches happened to be one of my faves. ❤️ There was never any doubt that her boys were her pride and joy, and her grandchildren, well that’s another story. You could see her pride bursting in every picture she shared with her Facebook friends. Mary Ann always kept things real, which is one of the many things I truly enjoyed about her. Thank you to the Kohler family for sharing her with us! My thoughts and prayers are with you all, and please know there is nothing my family wouldn’t do for you! Love you all so much!

What a wonderful woman, wife and mother that Mary Ann was – the world lost a wonderful light when you left. As mentioned above, Mary Ann opened her door to many people, allowing myself to stay for multiple nights on several occasions as a friend of the family and very graciously allowed Kevin and I to make extremely loud and unpleasant rock music in the basement when we were younger. Mary Ann and her family are in many’s prayers

Who knew when Tom and Maryann and I were in grade school together at Immaculate Conception (Holy Child) those 2 would end up together. I ran into Maryann at Dierbergs in early spring. Her passing words to me were “They have got to get sports back on TV, and get my household back to normal”. I think this comment was meant for you Tom. Well maybe now she can help us all with that!

So many memories of talking with her, trying to soak up her wisdom and joyful spirit. She never left you wondering how she felt, which made it easy to be yourself with her. She was one of those moms you wanted to hang out with, because she made you feel valued and protected. My love and deepest sympathy to all of you. May it bring some peace to know that her light will shine on in all those who knew her.

I met MaryAnn when her family moved to Arnold when we were in 8th grade. The 1st time she was introduced to our class I knew I wanted to be her friend! Her kindness, friendly smile, infectious laugh and outgoing personality was always a joy! We were ‘partners in crime’ and had so many fun times at St Pius Hi School! Fr Dalton and Fr Deutschmann used to laugh and shake their heads at us.
MaryAnn, I was honored to be your friend and I’ll always cherish the memories we made together! I will dearly miss you but I know you crossed the Heavenly Gates and you’re cured!
Until we meet again, my friend in God’s Heavenly Kingdom!! .
Love you!!

Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to you! To sit at a Pius sporting event when MaryAnn was there was always a special time. To say we laughed until our bellies hurt or we were crying tears because we were laughing so hard.. was never a lie because she always kept us entertained. What a special person she is and will remain in our hearts.
There will never be another Mary Ann!
How blessed we are to have known her.

Very sorry to hear of Aunt Mary Ann’s passing. I remember how kind she was to us as little kids years ago. Always enjoyed visiting with her at the family reunions.
Praying that God Blesses your family during this time of loss and difficulty.

My longtime friend of 64 years will truly be missed. We started our friendship on Hebert Street and St. Augustine School. Many nights playing ball in the alley with our family and friends. Always laughing g and having a good time. Every time we picked up the phone it was as if time stood still for us. May God be with your family and give them peace of mind. MaryAnn I
love you and will miss you
