She dedicated her life to her Catholicism and her love for children. She started her devotion at the age of 16 entering a convent where she cared for many children in orphanages. MaryAnn left the convent and married the love of her life, James Lawrence Walters Sr. On December 22, 1957.  Through all of her years she took pride in caring for her children and numerous grandchildren and then great grandchildren.
