Mary Ann Albers

Mary Ann Albers (Ruocco) "Nana", age 83, entered into God’s Kingdom on November 19, 2025, in Ocala, Florida, where she was lovingly called home to be with her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Born on September 7, 1942, in Manhattan, New York, Mary Ann was the daughter of the late Mary Talap and Alfred Ruocco. She was preceded in death by her parents, her husband Clifford C. Albers, and her beloved siblings, Anthony, Helen, George, Bella, and Michael, with whom she is now joyfully reunited in Heaven—surely gathered once more around a table, playing card games together in God’s eternal light. She is survived by her only daughter, Mary Anderson; her grandchildren, Christina Bauer, Richard Bauer, Crystal McKinney, and Michael McKinney; and her treasured great-grandchildren, Owen Bauer and Marshall McKinney. She lived with a fierce love and unshakable devotion to her family, loyal to her core and proudly independent. Her sassy spirit and bold yet tender heart will be deeply missed, leaving behind a legacy of strength and love that will never fade. We grieve her passing but rejoice in the promise of eternal life. Her memory—like her favorite color, purple—will forever remain rich, comforting, and full of love. “In His light, we find comfort. She is now at peace in the arms of her Savior.“ Psalm 23 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: He leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for Thou art with me; Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: Thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever. The Lord’s Prayer Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever and ever. Amen.
