Mary Anna Nollman, of Centralia, passed away peacefully, at Odin Healthcare Center, on Saturday, January 29, 2022, two days after her 86th birthday. Mary was an accountant working for Thomas “Addie” Wiggs, then the accounting firm of Wiggs, Smallwood and Scheriger and last but certainly not least, she retired from the Geary-Cooksey Agency. Mary was an avid bowler earlier in her life, then she later on took up the frustrating game of golf. She was always attempting, but never quite accomplished, beating her brothers in a game of golf.
