Mary Ann Spain 1943-2026

Mary Ann was born Jan. 26, 1943, in Youngstown, the oldest child of Harold and Florence Nevin. She lived the majority of her childhood in Niles and graduated from Niles McKinley High School in 1960.

Mary Ann spent 17 years as an executive secretary, most notably in the Trumbull County Commissioners’ Office, working with the commissioners to make Trumbull County a better place.

Mary Ann married the love of her life, John Spain, in 1964, and they shared 60 wonderful years together prior to John’s passing in 2025. They also had two loving sons, Michael (Paula) of Warren and Mark of Cortland. Mary Ann was the very proud nana to Michael’s two sons, Tyler and Jacob.

Besides her two sons and two grandsons, Mary Ann leaves behind a wonderful sister, Betty (Frank) Lukz of Columbus. Mary Ann also leaves behind brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law, Mary (Earnie) Nicholas of College Station, Texas; JoAnn (Bob) Price of Burton; Sam Crank of Niles; and Linda Spain of Warren.

Mary Ann was a devoted and longtime member of St. Pope John XXIII Parish-Mount Carmel Church. She particularly loved going to the Mount Carmel festival each July to enjoy the company of friends and also, of course, those wonderful cheese puffs.
