DIPZINSKI, MARY ANN– Of Clio, passed away suddenly on Sunday, February 2, 2025, due to health complications. She was 73.
Born July 23, 1951, Mary Ann was the third child and second daughter of Robert D. and Dorothy Fortino. She grew up in Swartz Creek, attended school at St. Mary Queen of Angels Church, and was a graduate of Swartz Creek High School.
Known for her hard work and dedication, Mary Ann was a fixture at three family businesses throughout her life: Fortino’s Food Market in downtown Swartz Creek, Vic’s Grocery in Clio and Vic’s Market in Flushing. She would greet customers with the same warmth that she greeted her family and friends.
A lover of research and ancestry, Mary Ann became the Fortino family genealogist, collecting interesting facts and reconnecting with extended family in Saint Ippolito, Italy, from where her great-grandfather, Paul Fortino, had emigrated. Mary Ann also enjoyed traveling and experiencing new places on her adventures.
She was dedicated to her community and served many years on the Clio Area Schools Board of Education.
She was generous with her time and resources. She enjoyed giving gifts, especially at Christmas.
