Saratoga Springs, NY- MaryAnn Wadsworth passed away peacefully at home, with her family beside her, on Monday, August 29, 2011, after a brief and brave fight with cancer. She was 72 years old. Born May 20, 1939, in Saratoga Springs, MaryAnn was the youngest daughter of the late Melbourne and Muriel MacDonald. MaryAnn worked for over a decade in the computer department at Skidmore College and retired several years ago from the Roosevelt Inn and Suites. She was an active member of the Presbyterian New England Congregational Church where she served as a Deacon. In all her endeavors, MaryAnn was respected for her strong work ethic and integrity. She was a faithful friend and, in her time of need, received the same love and support that she gave to others. In addition to her parents, MaryAnn is predeceased by her husband, Arthur H. Wadsworth and her brother, Robert MacDonald. She is survived by her sister Jean Bush of Lake Worth, Florida as well as her three children, Valerie Wadsworth-Manios, Bruce Wadsworth, and Karen Wadsworth; two son-in-laws, Harry Manios and Jamie Gamble and two grandsons, Christopher Smith Wadsworth and Alexander W.
