Mary Ann Doellman, age 62, of 1231 North 10th Street, Quincy, died on Tuesday, November 12, 2013 in Blessing Hospital Emergency Room. She was born February 22, 1951 in Quincy, Illinois. She was the daughter of Raymond J. and Eugenia, (Peterschmidt) Bachmann. She married Donald G. Doellman on November 30, 1974 in St. Rose of Lima Catholic Church, Quincy.

Mary Ann was a Med-Assist Advocate for Catholic Charities. She retired February 3, 2013. Prior to that she had worked at Transitions of Western Illinois. She spent her short retirement enjoying quality time with her grandkids and taking trips to spend time with her beloved family.
Mary Ann was very creative and she always had an affinity for numbers “143”. She dearly loved her kids and grandkids and she had a generous spirit that she happily shared with those in need. Mary Ann was always looking for a sale or a way to save a buck. She and her husband Don taught Marriage Preparation classes and were active with RCIA at St John the Baptist Catholic Church. Mary Ann was a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother, daughter, sister, and friend. Her true passion in life was her family and her faith. She will be missed more than words can say. Especially by her sad eyed beagle Sadie.

For many years Mary Ann and I were friends in Quincy. We lost track of each other for awhile, but recently had found one another again on face book. I am so saddened to hear of her passing. I count Mary Ann as one of my most beloved friends and a wonderful soul. My children and I send you all our deepest sympathies.
So sorry for you loss. I wish you strenght in your time of dispair.
My prayers are with your family. It is always a loss when a someone dies who was so nice. I am not good at condolences … but please believe my prayers and thoughts are with you.
Thoughts and Prayers. We are so so very sorry for your loss. The world lost a wonderful woman but yet you have gained a wonderful angel.
Can’t find words to tell you how sorry I am for the loss of your beloved mother. We will miss her so much. So very glad I got to spend 3 days with her a week ago. We had some good talks and laughs. The world will not be the same but she is with your dad and we can be joyful for that. love you Amanda, Adam and all your family.
To Mary Ann’s family: I am shocked and saddened by Mary Ann’s passing. Just recently saw her out and about and she always went out of her way to talk to me and ask about my family. What a wonderful, giving person. My heartfelt sympathy to all her family.
I am so sorry for your loss. I pray through the Sacred Heart of Jesus the angels conduct Mary Ann to her heavenly home and that your guardian angels protect you.
Dear Doellman and Bachmann families,
Mary Ann was the best and she came from the best, I just loved her family and her mother Jeanie ( Mrs. St. Rose) was one of my best friends too. My heart go’s out to all of you and wish I could be there for the funeral but will have masses said at her at dear St. Rose Church.. I had just spoken to Mary Ann too one morning while in Quincy at McDonalds and talking about the old days when she and her family went to St. Rose. Mary Ann was an image of her mother is so many ways. Thank you for sharing your mother, sister with us all. God bless you and my her soul now be in heaven.
