Mary Ann Henderson, 86, a beloved mother, grandmother and a lifelong resident of Weirton, WV, passed away at her daughter’s home, with her family at her side, on Friday, August 11, 2023.

Mary Ann was born on January 7, 1937, as one of the four children of John and Mary Jaskiewicz Teresh.

Mary Ann’s journey through life was marked by dedication, love, and unwavering commitment to her family. She graduated from Weir High School, where she laid the foundation for a life filled with strong traditions, morals and values. On December 15, 1967, she embarked on a new chapter, marrying the love of her life, Navy Veteran Richard Vernon Henderson. Richard provided for his family by working on the cleaning lines of Weirton Steel Tin Mill and Mary’s role as the head cashier at Denmark’s allowed them to build a life together that was rooted in hard work, mutual support and love.

After welcoming their daughter Mary in 1971, Mary Ann transitioned into the role of a devoted stay-at-home mom, embracing the joys and responsibilities of raising a child with all the warmth and care she possessed. She found joy in creating a loving home environment and fostering a strong sense of family unity.

Mary Ann’s faith was an integral part of her life, and she was an active member of Sacred Heart of Mary Church. In 1953, she joined the A.M.D.G. Sodality of Our Blessed Mother, an association that deepened her spiritual connections and brought her closer to her community of faith.

In addition to her parents, Mary Ann was preceded in death by her husband, Richard; her brother, John Teresh (Celeste Sinicropi), sister, Catherine Dobosz (Bernard) and Josephine A. Tersesh.

Mary Ann will be remembered with love by her daughter, Mary B. Sikora, and her son-in-law Padraic Sikora; and her grandchildren, Andrew-John Shannon Sikora and Maria Ann Sikora. Her memory will also be kept alive by her nieces, nephews, great nieces and nephews, and great-great nieces and nephews.

Visitation will be Tuesday from 6-8 PM at the Greco- Hertnick Funeral Home, 3219 Main Street Weirton, WV.

Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 10 AM Wednesday at Sacred Heart of Mary Roman Catholic Church.

Fr. Tony Thurston will preside.
