She was born on March 22, 1937, in Liberty, to Vola and Lena Daniels Whitis, both preceded her in death.

She married Darrell Fox on July 27, 1956. He passed away on July 31, 1983. On March 8, 1985, she married Michael A. Mulheeren. They enjoyed 35 years of marriage, including their many trips and cruises, and their winters in Florida. She also worked alongside him when they owned and operated the Radio Shack for 10 years. She was a wonderful wife to both of her husbands. 

She was a devout Christian and a very faithful member of her church. She and her husband, Darrell, were charter members of Connersville Baptist Temple. She was very active in the church being a Sunday school teacher, attending Lois Cornett’s Sunday school class every Sunday, and volunteering her time and resources to help with the Ladies’ Ministries. She was always willing to give of herself for the work of church and God. She was also very involved in the church she attended while wintering in Florida.  She was a wonderful cook; loved her flowers and gardening.  

She worked at American Kitchens; J.C. Penneys for seven years; Roots for 16 years; and then Radio Shack. She also volunteered at the Fayette Memorial Hospital for many years.

Mary Ann was a very devoted and loving mother to her children, Garry (Lisa) Fox, of Connersville, Karen Fox Weston (Wendell Marsee), of Connersville, and Myra Schnitker (Doug Barrett), of Connersville. She loved her grandchildren, Megan (Rob) Hendrix, of Liberty, Darrick Fox, of Wisconsin, Clayton Schnitker, of Muncie, and Jared Schnitker, of Connersville. She loved when she was able to spend time with her great-grandchildren, Landin Fox Springstroh and Caiden Fox Springstroh, of Wisconsin, and Addison and Dakota Hendrix, of Liberty. She is also survived by two nieces, Julie (Mark) Stephens, of Atlanta, Georgia and Jennifer (Michel) Heimoz, of Humble, Texas. She will be greatly missed by all of her family and many friends. Her favorite time of the year was Christmas; a time when all of her family was together. 

Besides her parents, and her first husband, she was also preceded in death by her daughter-in-law, Cindy Fox, and her two brothers, Eddie and Ronald Whitis.
