Celebrating 101 Remarkable Years: A Tribute to Maryann Nestor Hurdzan

_{October 17th, 2024}

On October 16, 1923, in Bellaire, Ohio, Maryann Nestor Hurdzan entered the world, born to first-generation immigrants from Austria. As the youngest of three daughters, she grew up with the strong values of family, faith, and resilience, instilled by her parents’ hardworking spirit.

Maryann married the love of her life, Michael Hurdzan, and together they built a beautiful family. She is the proud mother of two children, Michael and Kathy, who have been blessed to learn from her wisdom, strength, and nurturing heart. As a grandmother to three and a great-grandmother to five, Maryann’s legacy continues through the generations, each life touched by her love and guidance.

In her active years, Maryann embraced life with a spirit of joy and energy. She had a love for golf, often spending time on the green, perfecting her swing and enjoying the beauty of the outdoors. Her garden was a reflection of her care and attention, where she cultivated not just flowers and plants, but also the memories shared with loved ones. Maryann was also an organizer at heart, bringing her family together for gatherings, always ensuring that connections were made and celebrated.

Today, as she turns 101, we celebrate the incredible journey that Maryann has had—a life rich with love, family, and meaningful experiences. Her century of wisdom, grace, and dedication is an inspiration to all who know her.

Happy 101st birthday, Maryann! May this day bring as much joy to you as you have brought to others throughout your extraordinary life.
