Mary Ann Havlovic, 94, of Lincoln, NE, entered into eternal rest on Thursday, April 6, 2023 at her home in Lincoln, NE. She was born September 30, 1928 in Swedeburg, NE to Frank and Georgia (Mach) Rezac. Mary Ann attended St. Wenceslaus School in Wahoo and graduated from Wahoo High School in 1946. On May 27, 1952, she was united in marriage to Robert Havlovic at St. Wenceslaus Catholic Church in Wahoo, NE.
Through the years, Mary Ann worked for Elgin Watch Company in Lincoln (1946-57), Control Data Corp. in Minnesota as an assembly line worker (1961-71) and Union Bank cafeteria in Lincoln (1989-2001). She was a member of St. John Catholic Church in Lincoln, VFW Post #4626 Auxiliary and American Legion Post #3 Auxiliary.
Mary Ann was an excellent cook and baker. She always had time to entertain, and she would always make sure her guests had lunch, cookies or dessert before they left her home. Mary Ann enjoyed bus trips, Polka tours and Polka dances.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Robert J. Havlovic; and son, David Havlovic.
She is survived by many family members and friends.
I was fortunate to have known Mary for many years, and to enjoy her family and food too.
Lived in the same area, down the street a bit, and her brother-in-law and I enjoyed dancing in those days. Memories will last forever.
My Mom referred to Mary Ann as my Dad’s girlfriend. Mom was kidding She went to school with my Dad and showed up at places my parents were attending. Once she met you you were her friend. She was a wonderful person and I hated to hear she passed. Bless you Mary Ann. Hope you enjoy polkas in heaven.
When I was in Cosmetology school, back in 2001, she would come to me, and I would do her hair.. even after many years, she would come to Dwight, to my shop/salon, which is in a barn… she would always bring me Barn calendars, which I loved!! She was a good person!! We always talked about the priests she would feed!!!
We built our home for the grandparents in 1966 and later met the Havlovics as they moved into the house. Robert used to drop.by on occasions and we talked with my father George and myself for awhile. Mary Ann was different where she really got to know everyone while striking up conversstions and was very pleasant.
My daughter Sarah and I used to take vacations every other year and come back to Nebraska from California visit our farms and neighbors in Beatrice and Liberty. Sarzh was able to ride the trsctors and combines and brought back heads of corn and wheat for Mary Ann. We brought back fireworks from Wyoming and enjoyed putting on a show for Sarah. George snd Mary Ann.
Mary Ann enjoyed watching me use my various tools to keep.my property up where I let her use a few of them on her yard and gave her a DeWalt blower to.keep.her driveway and porch clean. She always gave me cookies for helping her. It was my turn to call her in the last few weeks where I just put it off.
May Mary Ann enjoy meeting Robert and David in the kingdom of heaven and may light perpetual shine upon them for ever!
