Along the way, she also grew to know countless former congregants of the church, along with many neighborhood preservationists. Ed and Mary Ann also learned that the German-speaking early church members included grandfather Eugene, who had emigrated from Switzerland in 1883. She worked with three Pittsburgh mayors in the process of redeveloping the St. Church and Richard Caliguiri, Sophie Masloff, and Tom Murphy. The 25 room Priory Hotel opened in late 1986, and immediately received industry accolades as first and only European-style boutique hotel.

The Priory Hotel was later expanded in 2011 to 42 rooms. In 1995, Mary Ann and her family unveiled the restoration of the church into Grand Hall at the Priory, which wins plaudits to this day as one of the premier event destinations. Not content, Mary Ann and Ed restored a historic storefront on East Ohio Street in Deutschtown, transforming it into the neighborhood anchor bakery Priory Fine Pastries. During her time as a North Side businesswoman, Mary Ann was active in many neighborhood and industry organizations, including serving as one of the first female board members of Visit Pittsburgh as well as the board of the Pittsburgh History and Landmarks Foundation. In 1999, Mary Ann and Ed completed their commitment to Deutschtown by restoring and moving into the historic built in 1888, which had been a home to the Marianist Brothers who later taught at North Catholic High School.

In June 2013, Mary Ann was recognized by the North Side Leadership Conference as one of the 30 most influential people in the last 30 years of development on the North Side. Known for her generosity and giving spirit, Mary Ann will be sorely missed by her family, friends, employees and the community.
