CUSTODIAN My name is Mary Ann Krantz and life for me began March 3, 1962. I was born at Stratford General Hospital. Growing up on 2541 Perth Line 33, Stratford, ON. This is the place I called home with my father, Carl and mother, Dorothy. They operated a dairy farm with purebred Holsteins. This was the life where my three siblings and I learned a solid work ethic. I enjoyed helping to do chores and loved spending time with our dairy herd.
I attended Sprucedale Public School, upon completion of Grade 8 I began high school at Northwestern Secondary School. Post Secondary years were spent at Conestoga College where I studied in their General Business program.
I have worked as a Child Caregiver, Welder/Farm Equipment Construction, Relief Milker, Animal Care-Dairy, Animal Care Assistant – Veterinarian, Elder Companion Care, Crossing Guard, Custodian and Pet/House Sitting.
I am a hard worker and a good friend to everyone I meet. I eagerly help out anyone in need. I am currently a crossing guard for Tavistock Public School students, a taxi driver, house sitter, Sweater Gang Companion and Church cleaning lady.
I am an accomplished sewer and have made many quilts, aprons, and blankets in past years. I am an animal lover through and through. My greatest achievement is watching my nieces and nephews grow up and do great things with their lives.
