1967

Mary Ann Latimer ’67 found her calling in teaching. After being active in the Early Childhood Education Program at her children’s elementary school, Mary Ann worked as a lecturer in English at Butte College in Chico, Calif., then as a writing instructor at Chico State University. She wrote her master’s thesis on improving student test scores and success in writing. Aside from being a well-loved professor, Mary Ann was a founder of Chico Theater along with her husband and their friends, and loved exploring the beauty of the natural world in Northern California. She was a sweet but lethal fisher of trout—her secret was to tread lightly, watch out for rattlesnakes, and get in the water. Mary Ann died June 8, 2024, and is survived by family, including husband Dennis Latimer ’67, brother Thomas Faherty ’69, sister Sheila Hugo ’76, and niece Maureen Faherty ’04.
