Mary Ann Moler passed away peacefully on Wednesday, April 29, 2020, at Life Care Center in Casper, Wyoming, at the age of 94.  Mary Ann was born on March 10, 1926 in Schuyler, Nebraska, to James and Mary (Groulik) Pavlicek.

She graduated from Schuyler High School in 1944, and received her Registered Nurse degree from Lincoln General Hospital in Lincoln, NE.  Following graduation she was selected to be a nurse with the Medical Cadet Program.

Mary Ann’s career included work as a nurse in a doctor’s office and at Girl Scout camp. She was involved in many community volunteer endeavors ranging from election official to youth leader.  After her children had grown she worked at several businesses.

Mary Ann loved to be around kids, celebrate holidays, and bring goodies and smiles to the kid in all of us.  She enjoyed doing crafts, sewing, creating greeting cards, and cooking.  She was always there as a supportive mother first and foremost and had the best advice.
