Maryann Messing- LOVING WIFE, MOTHER, GRANDMOTHER, SISTER, AND FRIEND.  Maryann 
Messing cherished time with her Husband, 11 children, 11 grandchildren, sister, 
and friends.   Maryann (Dreussi) Messing was born September 5th, 1947 in 
Canton, Ohio to Severino and Anna Dreussi (deceased). She attended Central 
Catholic High School and graduated from Timken Mercy Diploma Nursing School in 
1968. While training to be a nurse she met her husband Patrick, who was one of 
her patients.  They married on June 21st, 1969. Together they had 11 children, 
and over 46 years of marriage were a shining example to many of faith, love and 
fortitude. 

Maryann lived her life to love, care, and enjoy time with her family. She 
enjoyed cooking and baking, playing cards and games, dancing and laughing with 
all of her family and friends. She reveled in the joy of a good QVC deal. She 
had a sharp mind and provided common sense advice. She had a great sense of 
humor and laughed often. Her kind, calm demeanor was a constant source of 
comfort to all those who knew her.   Maryann worked as a registered nurse at 
William Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak for 46 years. During that time she built 
lasting friendships and cared for patients with a gentle hand and a loving 
smile.  Maryann was a proud member at The National Shrine of the Little Flower 
Church. She sang in the church choir and travelled to Rome, Italy as a member, 
where she met and held the hand of Pope John Paul II. She was also a member of 
the Woman's Guild. 

Maryann was mother to eleven children, son Michael (Kristen), daughter 
Christine "Tina" Griessel (Kevin), son Keith, son Joseph (Charouay), son 
Timothy (Katie), daughter Patricia Greco (Chris), daughter Therese Eason (Tom), 
daughter Rebecca, son Mark (Laura), daughter Monica Brennan (Xach), and 
daughter Jessica. 

She was grandmother to eleven grandchildren, Michaela and Hayden Messing, Anna 
and Ava Griessel, Amelie and Van Charles Messing, Elliot, Emmett, and Alex 
Messing, and Connor and Andrew Eason.  Maryann is survived by her loving sister 
Terie Dreussi-Smith.  Her brothers Joseph and James Dreussi are both deceased.  
Maryann was a shining light of the love of God for her family and friends. Her 
beautiful spirit and example of love will live on both in heavenly glory and in 
the hearts of all her children and loved ones.
