In Loving Memory of Mary Ann West

March 15, 1953 – November 1, 2026

Mary Ann (Barrett) West, 73, passed away on November 1, 2026, surrounded by her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren, in Vancouver, WA. 

Mary was born on March 15, 1953, in Watertown, South Dakota, to Lowell and Donna Barrett. She lived most of her life on the outskirts of Watertown, SD and her earlier years on the "Circle B Ranch". She participated in horse shows and events in her childhood years. She spent the final two years of her life in Vancouver, Washington, where she was able to spend time with her children and grandchildren. 

Mary worked as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) for over 20 years at the Good Samaritan Nursing Home in Clear Lake, SD. She later worked at the Estelline Nursing Home, where she also cared for her parents during their final years.

A mother of seven, grandmother, daughter, sister, and friend, Mary lived a life filled with many joys. Through the many seasons of her life, she continued to write a story that was uniquely her own.

Mary’s faith was an important part of her life. She found comfort in her faith and trusted in God’s love and promise of eternal life.Mary had a love for the simple pleasures in life. She was a sweet tooth who enjoyed an ice-cold Coca-Cola, some good ol’ Kentucky Fried Chicken, and long johns maple donuts. She enjoyed horses on her family’s ranch, anything with a little western bling, going to dances and following Minnesota Twins Baseball. She had a mischievous laugh that those who knew her will always remember.

Mary is survived by her children, Stephanie (Danny) Lang, Holly (Bruce) Kandoll, Anita West, Danny (Lisa) West, Janel Hanson, and Lily (Carlin) Isaacson; her brother, Tom (Naomi) Barrett; and her 25 grandchildren, and 5 great grandchildren. 

She was preceded in death by her parents, Lowell and Donna Barrett, and her beloved son, Tom West.

There will be a memorial in South Dakota in the Spring of 2027 for her Midwest family and friends.

Local Memorial:

Family and friends are invited to join the family for visitation and fellowship.
