Mary Ann Cantwell
Though not with the chorus from its inception, Mary Ann is a charter member of Sisters of Sound, having joined before the organization became a chapter of Harmony, Inc.  She has been singing in church choirs since she was a teenager but had no experience with a cappella close harmonies prior to joining S.O.S. After several years as a tenor (the high harmony part), our esteemed director 'requested' that she sing baritone and that is her current voice part, both in the chorus and with In A Chord, a barbershop quartet in which she is privileged to sing with her daughter, Kristin. Mary Ann lives in Clermont with her wonderful husband, Gene. She is a retired nurse who enjoys travel, the great outdoors, and spending time with family – especially her seven grandchildren.
