Mary Anne McCabe, 71, of Oxnard, CA, passed away on October 21, 2023 in Oxnard. Mary Anne was born in South Bend, IN, to Fred and Nanette Baumgartner, on March 7, 1952. She graduated from Adolfo Camarillo High School in 1970. She went on to earn a Bachelor of Science in Accounting from the University of LaVerne and a Master of Science in Administration from Pepperdine University. She worked in school business for 30 years, rising from Account Clerk to Director/Assistant Superintendent of Business. She ultimately retired to devote time to her true calling: being a grandmother. She enjoyed crafting, especially crocheting and sewing. She volunteered in the St John’s Hospital Surgery Waiting Area and served a term as the auxiliary president.
