MaryAnn Conrad-Zerggen

Mary Ann Conrad Zerggen sadly passed away on Saturday, December 7 th, at the age of 79. She
was a wonderful mother and friend who was always there offering support, wisdom and
abundant love to her family and friends.
Born on February 25, 1945 in Philadelphia, Mary Ann was the daughter of the late Joseph and
Eva Conrad and sister to the late Catherine Conrad Benner and Evelyn Conrad who all preceded
her in death.
Mary Ann was raised and lived in Philadelphia and graduated from John W. Hallahan Catholic
Girls’ High School class of 1963. She was employed as a bookkeeper and volunteered within
her community and was instrumental in founding the Town Watch program for the 26 th police
district. After her retirement, Mary Ann moved to Tacony where she was active with the
Tacony Civic Association.
Mary Ann was a devoted mother and is survived by her beloved son Marc Ferris also of
Philadelphia and her cousin Teresa Fernes.
Mary Ann deeply loved her family and friends and opened her home for Christmas taking pride
in lovingly decorating her home and sharing her many culinary talents celebrating with family
and friends. Mary Ann loved to venture out yard saling, adding to her home and holiday décor.
She had a flair for fashion and took great pride in dressing to impress, going out and enjoying a
meal and margarita from Gallo’s.
In the Spring, Mary Ann’s energy turned to gardening and tending her roses. In summer with
her garden in full bloom, she could be found relaxing in her little pool catching some sun with
her pups and a good book. She also loved the Phillies and enjoyed going to home games or
watching on TV.
