Mary Ann Meo

MEO, Mary Ann (nee: Miazek). passed away peacefully on June 19, 2026. She was 75. Beloved wife of the late Tony Meo. Loving mother of Becky Brady (Michael) and step-mother of Ann Cormier (Mike), Melisa Watson, and Shelley Meo. Proud and loving Busia of her grandchildren Claire, Allie, Tommy, Max (Hannah), Maddie, and Brendan, and great grandmother to two. Cherished daughter of the late Dominik and the late Regina (Trakul) Miazek. Dear sister of Eddie Miazek (Loretta), Regina Konarz (the late Joseph), Eugene Miazek (Virginia), and the late Virginia Sikorski (the late Stanley), the late Delphine Pozlusney (the late Marvin), the late Chester Miazek, the late Raymond Miazek (Paulina), the late Rose Rosati (the late Don), and the late Lorraine Osinski (the late Stephen). Mary Ann also loved her many cousins, nieces and nephews. Mary Ann was born in Detroit, on October 7, 1950, the youngest of 10 children. She learned early in life to cherish her family, her Lord and to show her love and affection to others through actions and deeds, not just words. She remained close to her siblings and their spouses throughout her life, and enjoyed playing cards, going on trips, organizing family reunions and Christmas parties. She liked nothing more than to make a big meal for family or friends, getting out the good silverware and table settings. These get-togethers also allowed her to get dressed up, which she loved. And don’t get in her way when she was in the kitchen – she was a nonstop ball energy. She also used food as a way to show others she loved them - she was known to bake a cake just to give it to someone with the excuse “Oh I made this cake, but I can’t eat all of it.” Christmas was her favorite holiday. It was never too early to start decorating, and you better believe she had her grandkids making Christmas lists as soon as possible. She loved decorating the Christmas tree with beautiful ornaments, each with a specific story or meaning behind it. Mary Ann had one child, Becky, and gave her the best life she could and loved her the best way she knew possible. She showed her how to care for others, especially family. She instilled in her the love of reading, cooking, baking and decorating. She taught her how to take pride in your appearance, and that a new outfit was always the way to go. Mary Ann was a private, independent person, but she allowed Becky to care for her these last three years the best she knew how. In the end Mary Ann loved her enough to let her make the best decisions for her. The love of Mary Ann’s life was Tony. They were married for 19 years, when he left too soon for Heaven in 2007. Mary Ann and Tony were inseparable, and best friends. They are now rejoined in Heaven, along with all of their dearly departed family members. You can almost hear the laughter and card games in Heaven. Mary Ann loved doting on her grandchildren. She loved having them over for sleepovers, going to the movies, attending all of their events, back to school shopping, helping with rides, or dropping by with some new present because one of her grandkids “just really needed it.” Mary Ann also had a special place in her heart for her nephew Don Rosati, his wife Kathy, and her nephew Gregg. Mary Ann cared for Gregg the last 9 years of her life, and she loved him like a son. They brought each other joy and happiness (even though they bickered their fair share). Mary Ann worked hard her entire life. She worked at Detroit Edison, starting there when she was 18 in a co-op as a tour guide and ended up in the public relations department when she retired 35 years later. She made life-long friends throughout her career, and was a great example with her dedication and hard work for Detroit Edison and its customers. She even had to put on a hard hat and help customers from time to time during power outages. What a lady! The last years of Mary Ann’s life were very difficult, as she struggled with Parkinson’s Disease and Dementia. Through it all, she never complained, she just did the best she could. She still took joy in getting her hair and nails done, watching Murder She Wrote and laughing to others that her daughter “bossed her around.” But the twinkle in her eye showed that Mary Ann was always full of love, for her daughter and family, for life and for her Lord. She will be missed. May her memory be a blessing. Visitation Tuesday 3-8pm at Wujek-Calcaterra & Sons, Inc., 36900 Schoenherr at Metro Parkway (16 Mile), Sterling Heights.
