Mary Ann Accardi ~ O'Neill

In the words of the great poet Maya Angelou, "I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." No truer words could be spoken in memory of the ambitious, generous, loving, and thoughtful Mary Ann Accardi~ O'Neill. Born in the hustle and bustle of New
York City on June 23,1951 Mary Ann was a shining beacon of light that illuminated the lives of many. Her career with Dean Witter took her from Wall Street to Los Angles in 1970. Over the years her hard work and determination would see her advance to the title of Assistant Vice President. In 1982 Mary Ann would meet her future husband, Dennis O’Neill. Married on Sept. 1 1985.They would then move to Santa Clarita where she spent 39 wonderful years Mary Ann was the epitome of a loving and dedicated wife to her soulmate, Dennis . She put her ambitious and thoughtful nature to good use in her 47-year career in financial administration, where she was known for her
generous spirit and unwavering dedication. Mary Ann had a love for her furry companions, Lucy and Baxter(has passed) , who will surely miss her as much as we do. She was the loving daughter of the late Santo Accardi and
Isabel "Bel" Felitti. Mary Ann was a woman who knew the value of family, and that's what mattered most to her. The love and warmth she brought to every encounter will be sorely missed, but her spirit lives on in the countless memories she created
