Happy Birthday, Miss Mary Ann


Okay, so yesterday, we celebrated Jack Marcellia's 57th birthday. How ironic is this--today is his wife's birthday. Let's get to know more about Mary Ann Hughes-Marcellia.

Mary Ann Hughes-Marcellia was born on September 30, 1957 in Spartanburg, South Carolina to William and Linda Hughes. She was often teased in school because she was born an only child, but Mary Ann worked for everything that she has been blessed with thus far, from school to now.

Mary Ann attended South Carolina University, where she joined Zeta Delta Gamma Sorority, Inc., and graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Education, with a minor in Business Administration. Mary Ann feels that attending South Carolina University was providentially planned, as it was in her freshman year that she met and befriended one Bret George Douglas. On the day of registration, Mary Ann and Bret became best friends, to the point where Bret adopted her as his baby sister. Mary Ann’s parents lived right next door to Bret’s grandparents. Mary Ann also recognized that one Susan Ariel Gosinheimer had a crush on Bret; to learn more about this particular event, read Chapter Five of Simply Bret.

Mary Ann also found her true love in one Jack Edward Marcellia, and the two were wed in 1978. Within this union, Mary Ann gave birth to one son, Jonathan Stephen, and one daughter, Natalie Violet.

When one meets Mary Ann, the first noticeable trait is her lovely Southern accent, which is somewhat reminiscent of the late Rue McClanahan.
