MaryAnn Dubs Harman, 88, of Hanover, passed away peacefully on Monday, May 27, 2024, at UPMC Harrisburg. She was the loving wife of William E. Harman, with whom she shared 47 wonderful years of marriage.
Born on Wednesday, May 20, 1936, in Hanover, MaryAnn was the daughter of the late Frank G. and Ruthetta P. (Lookingbill) Fritz. She graduated from Eichelberger High School in the class of 1954. Following her graduation, MaryAnn married her first husband, Mervin L. "Dutch" Dubs, and started a family. After raising her children and experiencing a mutual divorce after 15 years, she married William Harman in 1976.
MaryAnn had a vibrant and fulfilling life. She enjoyed playing cards with friends and family, and her competitive spirit shone through during those games. She had a passion for gambling and found joy in occasional trips to the clubs, where she loved the thrill of trying her luck. Her love for adventure took her on numerous cruises, exploring various destinations and creating lasting memories with her loved ones.
A dedicated sports enthusiast, MaryAnn was an avid fan of the New York Yankees and the Pittsburgh Steelers. She rarely missed a game, cheering on her favorite teams with unwavering enthusiasm. Her love for sports extended beyond these teams, as she enjoyed watching a wide range of sporting events. In her younger years, MaryAnn enjoyed bowling, especially participating in leagues with her husband and friends.
Above all, MaryAnn cherished her family. She relished the time spent with her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, creating a warm and loving environment for them. Family gatherings were filled with laughter, stories, and cherished moments that will be remembered by all who knew her.
MaryAnn is survived by her husband, William E. Harman, and her children: Desiree A. Krenzer and her husband Anthony, David A. Dubs and his wife Sharon, and Daune Dubs, widow of her predeceased son, Dwayne A. "Bink" Dubs. She is also survived by her two sisters, Gladys Despines and Donna Sneeringer, both of Hanover, as well as 9 grandchildren, 11 great-grandchildren, and many loving extended family members and friends.
