Mary Ann graduated from Farrel High School in Pennsylvania in 1957. After graduating she moved to Washington DC where she worked for the Treasury Department. She met and married Donald Scaggs, eventually buying a home in Clinton MD. Mary Ann was blessed with four children, Stephen (Linda) Scaggs of Hollywood, MD, Sharon (Bob) Wilson of Camp Springs, MD, Susan (Bill) Litzinger of Mechanicsville, MD and Stephanie (Chris) Mosely of Owings, MD.
In 1979 she returned to work for the Federal Government, this time as a statistician and later as an IT Specialist for the United States Census Bureau.

In 2006, Mary Ann was able to retire after more than 27 years working for the Federal Government.
She was an active member of the Our Lady of Mercy Sodality and choir at St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church in Clinton, MD. She later became a member of the Charitable Society at St John Francis Regis in Hollywood, MD.
