The Bakersfield Californian 
McDonald, Mary Ann     
1917 - 2005 
 
Mary Ann McDonald 
August 12, 1917 June 20, 2005 

Mary McDonald died suddenly Monday, June 20, 2005, in Arroyo Grande, CA. She 
was at home with her caregivers, daughter and son-in-law, Trish and Dan 
Jimenez. Mary was born in Coalinga, California, the third of four children to 
James and Mary Heffernan. She lived most of her life in Bakersfield, attending 
St. Francis Grammar School, Kern County High School and Bakersfield College. 
She worked for the phone company before her marriage to William J. McDonald in 
1941. As was typical she stayed at home to raise her children, but later 
worked for many years at her husbands office. She was a kind lady and generous 
to a fault. She always insisted on paying the tab. She enjoyed living in 
Bakersfield and managed to live independently until the past few years. She 
was preceded in death by her parents, her husband, William J. McDonald; her 
sister, Ellen Hill and Agnes Roberts; and her grandson, Shawn Stanley. She is 
survived by her brother, William Heffernan; her brother-in-law, Donald 
McDonald; her daughters and their husbands, Maureen and Jerry Stanley, Trish 
and Dan Jimenez, Nancy and Lloyd Whitson; her son, Bill and his wife, Lynn 
McDonald and daughter-in-law, Inge McDonald. She is also survived by her 
grandchildren, Brian Stanley, Scott and Jane Whitson, Brent Whitson, Christian 
and Brigitte McDonald and Zac and Hannah Griffin; her special niece, Betty 
Buermann and her husband, Bud; niece, Bonnie Burnell and her nephews, John 
McDonald and Jim and Joe Heffernan. There was a private service at St. Francis 
Church, on Friday, June 24th, followed by a burial at Union Cemetery.
