Mary Ann Steffen, age 69, of Storm Lake, Iowa, died on Saturday, September 24, 2016, at St. Luke's Regional Medical Center in Sioux City, Iowa.

Mary Ann Hausman, a daughter of Forrest “Dutch” and Iona (Huseman) Hausman, was born on January 24, 1947 in Storm Lake, Iowa. Baptized at St. John’s Lutheran Church in Storm Lake and confirmed there later as well, she, also, attended school in Storm Lake, graduating from Storm Lake High School in 1965.

Mary Ann worked for Lairds Fashion Clothing Store in Storm Lake as well as Graens Clothing Store. In addition, she enjoyed working side by side with her son, Peter, at the Pantry in Storm Lake before she retired. For 40 years, she, along with her family, ran the food stand at the Buena Vista County Fair.
