She was born on June 24, 1935, at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Milwaukee, the eldest daughter of Alois and Marie (Lesch) Wetor. She grew up in Dacada and attended St. Nicholas Parochial Grade School. In 1953, she graduated from Random Lake High School. Mary Ann went on to study nursing at St. Agnes School of Nursing in Fond du Lac, WI, where she graduated as a registered nurse in 1956.

    My sincere sympathy to Mary Ann's entire family! Like Mary Ann, I grew up in Dacada, went to nursing school in Fond du Lac, & worked my entire professional career at St. Nicholas Hospital. So, we shared a lot of "history." Her dedication to the nursing profession was admirable. The laughs we shared during ski trips, over card games, & during other activities throughout the years provide such great memories. May she rest in peace!

what our families say

Tiffany Foster went out of her way to fulfill all my requests, talked me through problems I was facing, and tried to make me feel as comfortable as possible when I was a wreck, totally crushed, and I thank her with all of my heart for that.

The professional manner of the staff made a difficult time a little easier.

Lynda R. | July 2020

Services provided for both parents were perfect, on time, and no issues. Brenda is awesome and strong!

Michael M. | July 2020

Skyler was absolutely amazing. She was so caring and helpful through this whole process. She even went above and beyond to meet with us in DeForest and even to make a stop at our home to drop off or pick up anything needed. While it was a small gesture, it was so helpful and greatly appreciated.
