Mary Ann Woodring Harr, 94, of Altoona, peacefully passed away Tuesday at the Hollidaysburg Veterans Home. Born and raised in Altoona, she was the beloved daughter of the late Dale P. and Erma (College) Lewis.
Mary Ann's life was marked by resilience and love. She was married twice, first to Robert Woodring and later to Lee Harr, both of whom preceded her in death.
Throughout her life, Mary Ann faced many challenges, including a serious accident and the heartbreaking loss of her son, Dale R.C. Woodring. Yet, her unwavering strength and determination never faltered.
She was a devoted mother to her three children: Phyllis Brown (Tom) of Altoona, Debbie Woodring (Greg) in Alabama, and David Woodring (Eileen) of Myrtle Beach. Her legacy lives on through her cherished grandchildren: Melissa Bistline, Heather Brown, Ashley Valentino, Conner Woodring, John Weidley and Michele Weidley; as well as her loving great-grandchildren: Adalina, Dalton, Justin, Vivianna, Jonny, Nickolas, Rachel, John and Kieran. She was also blessed with two great-great-granddaughters, Mackenzie and Madeline.
Mary Ann's family was the heart of her life. She was a loving and nurturing presence to all who knew her, treasuring every moment with her children and extended family. In her quieter times, she found joy in playing bingo and doing crossword puzzles, simple pleasures that brought her happiness.
