Mary Anne Whitson-Shifflett
August 4, 1971 – April 14, 2019
Mary Anne (Whitson) Shifflett, 47, of Huntingtown, Maryland passed away quietly at her home on Sunday, April 14, 2019. She was a native of White Plains, Maryland, born August 4, 1971, and a graduating member of the Southern Maryland Christian Academy, Class of 1989. She met her match and married the love of her life, Richard (Ricky) L. Shifflett Jr., in the fall of 2013. Nothing brought her more joy than that union. Mary Anne was a contented homemaker and wife, a loyal friend, a phenomenal cook and a lover of all pets, having rescued many of God’s creatures throughout her lifetime, spoiling every one of them. Her love of loud, fast muscle cars began with her first car, a ’78 gold Trans Am. She never gave up on the dream of ever owning one again at some point in her future. A truly happy day, for her, was spent at the track with friends. Mary Anne was preceded in death by her beloved mother and father, Nettie Pearl (Frazier) and ‘Cadillac’ Jack J. Whitson, in addition to her cherished cat, Peanut. She is survived by her devoted husband, Ricky; her much adored and doted upon pets, Angel, Trouble and Oliver; her brother, Michael and his wife Lynn Whitson, nephews Ellis and Graham, niece Lyla of Mechanicsville; her treasured Aunt Peggy Frazier of Hampstead, North Carolina; Stepchildren Richard III and Tiffany Shifflett, Mechelle Shifflett and Joseph Phillips III, Kelly Nicole Hamilton; in-laws Richard Sr., Rosie, Jamie, DJ and Damean Shifflett; numerous cousins and extended family members in North Carolina, Virginia and on the Eastern Shore of Maryland; Mary Anne was graced with, and lived for, her grandchildren, Abby, Matthew and Joey. She is remembered with love and leaves behind a multitude of dear and lifelong friends, including but certainly not limited to, Tim and Tammy, Kyle, Kayla and Kody Gilbert; Winnie Raines, Tyler Peed and Jay Jacobs; Lesley and Eddie Wilson; Jane and Jim Macri, Nellie and Joe Roberson, Lenene Tayman Tracey; Angela Grow; Kim Savage. Her smile and that beautiful laugh will never fade from our memory. Rest peacefully, fly high. We love you, Mary Anne. We always will. A celebration of Mary Anne’s life will be held on Saturday, May 4th, 2019, from 2:00pm to 5:00pm at the family farm located at 3055 Solomons Island Road, Huntingtown, Maryland 20639.

Oh MaryAnne, how we/I have missed you over the last several years. Every year near Halloween Dallas talks about how we tried to get her to go trick-or-treating as white trash- I know you know what that means-lol! We were sisters from an early age that extended most of our lives; it was you, Lenene & myself and no matter what we had each other & each others back. Life throws curveballs from every direction so sometimes in adulthood we briefly went our own ways to find us back together again but in the end that didnt happen. Please know you never forgotten by anyone that loved you cuz that was impossible as to know you was to truly love you. I am happy that you found your happy place as its different for all but glad you found it; just wish I could of seen it. Nonetheless, I know you wanted to be loved & spread your love. Please always know know that like your beautiful smile & laugh I hear in my head you did just that! You passed way, way to young and the only police I have is that now your with your mom, dad, peanut & sadly cant remember the pups name’s you grew up with but I know your there. I also know you are reuniting with Mom, Pop & Jacob- do me a favor sis give them hugs & tell them how much I love them. The world is alot dimmer without you Mernie! Your always beautiful smile & laugh has always been infectious! I love you always & forever MaryAnne………
Just like we always did!💞
