MaryAnn Townsend

MaryAnn Townsend, 75, of Rothschild, passed away on August 6, 2019 at her home.

MaryAnn was born in St. Paul, Minnesota on April 21, 1944 to the late James and Beatrice (Cronce) Schider. She worked as an accountant for St. Paul’s United Church of Christ, and then did administrative work for Wesley United Methodist Church.

Elvis Presley, traveling, playing cards and going to the casino were some of the things that MaryAnn enjoyed.  She especially enjoyed her flower gardens and her collections of angels and butterflies. But most important to her, were her family. Spending time with her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren were what truly made her happy.

In addition to her parents, MaryAnn was preceded in death by her brother James Schider.
