Mary Ann Fekete
Mary Ann Fekete, 89, passed away peacefully on May 27th, 2026, after a courageous journey with Alzheimer’s.
Born in Maryville, Tennessee, Mary Ann embraced life with enthusiasm, joy, and an unwavering love for bringing people together. A proud Tennessee native, she could often be found on the dance floor or requesting her favorite song, Tennessee Whiskey, a tribute to the place she always held close to her heart. Mary Ann was a devoted fan of Tampa Bay sports and rarely missed an opportunity to cheer on her beloved Buccaneers, Lightning, and Rays. Whether attending a game, planning a cruise, or organizing a group outing, Mary Ann believed life was meant to be lived fully and shared with others.
Mary Ann is survived by her loving son, Robert Fekete; her daughter-in-law, Sharon Fekete; and her cherished grandson, Cooper Fekete; as well as her son, Michael Chesny; her beloved brother, Charles; her niece, Lisha; and her nephews, Kevin and Kip Abernathy. She was preceded in death by her beloved son, John Chesny.
Her legacy is one of joy, laughter, friendship, and a reminder to never pass up an opportunity to celebrate life.

Let the family know you care by sharing this tribute.
One of my favorite memories of Grandma would be all of the times that she would pick me up when I was in elementary school she would take me to McDonald’s and I would get an Oreo McFlurry. When I heard that she would pick me up I would be so excited. Miss her dearly.
You will surely be missed by our entire family Mary Ann. I’m so grateful to you for bringing your son Rob into the world for me to love …as I told you the night before you passed on to the other side. We will keep your memory alive and I will forever love your son and your beautiful grandson Cooper. I will be sure to learn your song Tennessee Whiskey and sing it in your honor. Rest in love my beautiful mother-in-law.
