Mary Ann Pollacco peacefully entered into her eternal home while surrounded by her loving family on December 21, 2019, at the age of 58 after a long and courageous battle with cancer. Born April 29, 1961, in Anchorage, Alaska, to the late William and Catherine Pollacco. Mary Ann was the beloved mother of Christina Costigan (husband Joe), and Natalia Romo-Leroux; cherished Nana of Saleena Titus; beloved niece of Mary Celia; and loving sister of Marjorie Fehrenbach and Michael Pollacco. Mary Ann’s sister Catherine and brother Paul predeceased her. Mary Ann also leaves several loving nieces and nephews.
Mary Ann loved to dance, share stories, laugh, entertain, cook elaborate meals, travel, spend time with family and friends, volunteer at her church, and kick back and relax at home while watching all of the wildlife that flocked to her backyard in Mason Neck, Virginia. Family lovingly d her “Dr. Doolittle” for her ability to connect with and gain the trust of animals – both wild and domestic – including the cardinal “Roberto.” Mary Ann ran several businesses throughout her life, including an in-home daycare, a concierge and catering service, and as an estate manager to many tenants who became family to her.
When it became apparent that her time with us was drawing near, she met that truth head on with courage, strength, positivity, and a faith so strong that left many in awe.
