Mary Ann Huss Golay
November 7, 1943 ~ October 25, 2022
Mary Ann Huss Golay died peacefully under hospice care at Primrose Cottages in Aberdeen, South Dakota on October 25, 2022, at the age of 78 with her children by her side.
A celebration of life will be held at a later date at the family graveside in the Faulkton Cemetery, Faulkton, SD.
Mary Ann Huss was born November 7, 1943, in Faulkton, SD to Leo and Connie (Conner) Huss. She graduated from Faulkton High School.
She married Larry Stammer in 1963 and moved out to a small farm east of Miranda. Over the next few years, the couple welcomed two children, Mark and Lori, into their home. A few years later, their family relocated to Redfield where they pursued a variety of jobs and interests.
Later in life, Mary Ann remarried, eventually settling in Aurora, CO, working as the executive assistant for a business executive until her retirement. She subsequently moved to Arizona for a short time before returning to her hometown of Faulkton.
Mary Ann’s children remember her as a kind and gentle soul who loved to travel, knit, and play competitive golf. She loved her many visits overseas, her favorite being Mexico, where she enjoyed the sunny weather, snorkeling, food, and friends. She enjoyed singing, frequently recounting her fond memories of singing in the church choir at St. Thomas the Apostle Catholic Church and even during her time at Primrose. Like her mom Connie, Mary Ann loved sweets like Snickers bars and Scotcheroos. She always had a variety of caramel rolls, cookies and muffins in her kitchen.
Mary Ann is survived by her children: Mark R. (Donna) Stammer of Tiki Island, TX, and Lori Stammer of Aurora, CO; grandchildren: Kyle (Rebekah) Stammer of Fort Polk, LA; great-grandchildren: Jackson, Harper, and Megan (Aaron) Wolverton of Fort Benning, GA; great grandson, Emmett; and brothers: Mike (Jean) Huss, and Pat (Marsha) Huss.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Leo and Connie Huss.
Mary Ann’s family would like to thank Primrose Cottages and Avera @Home Hospice for the exceptional care, support and assistance provided for Mary Ann.
Luce Funeral Home of Faulkton has been entrusted with Mary Ann’s arrangements.

Sending some very heavy hugs to you all as we say goodbye until we meet again. She is forever remembered and is now at peace until you see her again. Again love and hugs Lori and Mark and family.
Mark and Lori,
Our sincere sympathy to you in the passing of your Mom!
Linda & I were classmates and good friends with both your Mom and Dad so have known them since we were in grade school. We know your Mom had some tough times the last few years but it is still hard to lose her.
Our thought are with you.
Derald and Linda Shaw
Thinking of you and hoping you are at peace. Condolences to your family, I remember how much you loved them. I will never forget your “fondness” for our pet birds 🤣 and you love for our dog Jaque.
I was remembering your mother on her birthday only to find out she had passed. She and I were friends I. High school and in later years reconnected in Colorado and then Arizona. I send my love to her family.
So sorry to hear about Mary Ann. I was a classmate with her at Faulkton High and I send my sincere regards to her family.
I extend my deepest sympathy to Mary Ann’s family. I just found out about her passing. I had not heard from her in awhile. We met many years ago when we worked in Denver and rode the same bus. She will be missed!
