She was born December 2, 1941, in Salt Lake City, Utah, to Clifford and LauMar Hoffman.

On October 19, 1962, Mary Ann married Blen Flinders Talbot for time and all eternity in the Logan, Utah Temple. They were devoted to each other and shared 61 wonderful years of marriage.

Mary Ann graduated from West High in 1960, where she formed enduring friendships. She and her group of friends met monthly for "Club" and supported each other over the years. Mary Ann was raised with a strong work ethic, which carried over into her career journey, including Glendale Market, Beneficial Life, and Smith's Food & Drug. She was passionate about DIY projects from masonry work to sewing, canning, gardening, and upholstery. Mary Ann passed along this work ethic, sense of responsibility and generosity to her posterity.
Together, Mary Ann and Blen created many cherished family traditions and memories. They loved taking family camping trips and celebrating holidays. Mary Ann enjoyed playing and coaching sports as well as supporting her children and grandchildren in their athletic pursuits.
