Mary Ann Trout's Obituary
Mary Ann Weldon Trout of Quincy, Florida, passed away peacefully on Monday, June 2, 2025, following a short illness.
Mary Ann was born on August 23, 1946, in Washington, D.C., to Earnest and Marie Weldon. She is survived by her daughter, Tish Fletcher; grandchildren, Rosie and Camden, her mother, Marie; brothers, Billy Weldon (Debbie) and Chris Weldon (Karen); sister, Margaret Conner (Gregg); as well as several nieces, nephews, and their families.
She was preceded in death by her loving husband of 57 years, Ronnie Trout, and their only son, Jim Trout, II.
Mary Ann was a faithful and dedicated follower of Jesus Christ. She spent many years serving others by collecting and delivering food and essential supplies to those in need, organizing services, and working tirelessly to make a difference in her community.
At the family home, Mary Ann shared her space with a mix of stray cats, dogs, horses, donkeys, chickens, geese, and birds. Her compassion extended to all creatures, great and small.
Mary Ann was known for always having a pot of soup ready in her kitchen for anyone who stopped by. Guests rarely left without a homegrown vegetable, a potted plant, or sometimes even a stray kitten. Her generosity and nurturing spirit were truly unmatched—she was a force of humanity.
Her long and successful career began in hospitality, where she held positions at the Quality Inn and Ramada Inns of Tallahassee, later relocating to the Tampa Hilton Hotel. In the mid-1980s, she returned to Tallahassee and began working for the State of Florida. She served in the Department of Natural Resources' Seafood Marketing Division before finding her true calling in the Division of Workers’ Compensation, where she passionately assisted those facing work-related disabilities.
Mary Ann always greeted everyone with a warm smile and a kind word. Her outgoing nature, boundless energy, and deep compassion for others left an indelible mark on everyone who knew her. She truly loved life and sought the good in every person and every situation.
