HOLDEN – Mary Ann (Ushkurnis) Mercier, 56, of River Street, passed away peacefully surrounded by her loving family on Tuesday, December 21, 2010 at Saint Vincent Hospital, Worcester after a brief illness.
She leaves her devoted husband of 13 years, Steven E. Mercier; her twin sister, Ann Marie DiGregorio and her husband Leo of Holden; two brothers, Michael P. Ushkurnis of Worcester and James E. Ushkurnis and his wife Barbara of Paxton; and three nephews, Michael L. DiGregorio, Daniel J. DiGregorio and Derek J. Ushkurnis. She was born and raised in Worcester, the daughter of Edward P. and Mary R. (Cronin) Ushkurnis, and lived 15 years in Holden.
Mary Ann was a graduate of St. Peter’s High School in 1973, attended Quinsigamond Community College and later worked in clothing, sales and retail for many years. She was a member of St. Mary’s Church in Jefferson.

She especially enjoyed the time spent with her family, her nephews and their friends who she referred to as “her boys”. She adored her two cats, Princess and Whiskers and her dog, Snoopy.
Mary Ann’s family would like to express their sincere appreciation to the staff at Saint Vincent’s Hospital including Dr. Goyal, Dr. Pacifico, Dr. Bessette and Dr. Najjar, for their care and compassion.
