Mary Ann Stagg Dorsey
Mary Ann Stagg Dorsey, a Christian and loving wife and mother, went to her eternal rest Jan. 14, 2013. Her life began in Houston on Feb. 28, 1928. She was one of three daughters and a son of Margaret Taylor Standefer. Her father was John Standefer.
She later moved to San Antonio. After her school days, she moved back to the Houston area, where she married Charles Scott Stagg.
Charles and Mary Ann had one child, Charles Scott Stagg Jr., and, in 1962, they moved to Huffman. Scott was welcomed to a family that included Charles’ three children. While in Huffman, Mary Ann loved to square dance and bowl. In 1982, Mary Ann retired from her employment at Dobb’s House, where she serviced American Airlines, and moved to Kingsland. In 1983, she became a widow and was supported by many of her friends. In 1994, Mary Ann wed Eddie Dorsey and became part of his family of loving children and grandchildren.
In Kingsland, she was a part of the craft community and continued her love of bowling in the Hill Country Women’s Bowling Association. Her battle with pancreatic cancer was short, and her passing included passionate care from many caring professionals.
She is survived by her husband of 18 years, Eddie Dorsey, of Kingsland; daughters Ellen Ann Shumate of Cypress and Susie Dorsey Stewart and husband Rick of Lubbock; sons, Charles Michael Stagg and wife Linda of Alvin, Charles Scott Stagg Jr. and wife Sharon of Echo, Utah, and Mike Dorsey and wife Dana of Austin; and son-in-law, Del Trolinder of Midland.
