Fundraising for CJD! In Honor of Mary Ann Stevens

Mary Ann Stevens born August 6, 1964, passed away from CJD on April 15, 2021. A loving wife, a mother of four, sister, daughter, and friend. She is missed incredibly deeply, and we honor her by walking and fundraising for research for the disease that took her to Jesus much too soon.

Mary Ann’s Story

Mary Ann was the first born to Ethel and Kevin Donlin in 1964. She was the oldest sibling to Carol, Margaret, Kevin, and Louis. They lived in Livingston, New Jersey. 
 

Mary Ann met her Husband, Joe Stevens and they were married for 25 beautiful years at the time of her passing. They had a loving marriage led by God and had four children together, Nicole, Joseph, Daniel, and Matthew. 
 

She worked for the church, was an active member in both the church and school communities, volunteered at her children's events, and was one of the loudest fans in the stands. Mary Ann had a major impact on her community. She was and is so loved by all who knew her. 
 

Mary Ann Stevens was diagnosed with Cruzfeldt Jakob disease at the age of 56, and passed away within 2 months of the onset of symptoms. It was the hardest thing our family has gone through, and to this day we still struggle with the loss of Mary Ann. 
 

We pray for Mary Ann, and for all effected by this awful disease. We pray that research is able to lead scientists to a help or a cure. 
 

Thank you.
