Mary Ann McIntosh

Mary Ann McIntosh, 59, of Van Wert, passed away Friday, April 29, at DuPont Hospital in Fort Wayne surrounded by her loving family.  

Mary Ann was born May 13, 1962, in Van Wert and married the love of her life, Jeff McIntosh, October 26, 1985. She was a graduate of Van Wert High School and a longtime employee of both the Van Wert County Hospital and Van Wert City Schools.  

Mary Ann had a passion for building meaningful and lasting relationships with everyone she encountered. She was adventurous, thoughtful, and provided unwavering support and love to the family and friends she cherished. Whether through a greeting card, exceptional home cooked meal or dessert, caring for others came as second nature and she will be deeply missed.
