Ann Mara met Wellington Mara by chance when a woman fainted at a 7:30 a.m. mass that they both regularly attended.
In 2012 she gained media attention after having an argument with Terry Bradshaw. Mara was in good health until she fell on the ice outside of her Harrison home fetching her newspaper. Mara"s housekeeper usually went to get the paper but on that day Mara went to get it herself.
She developed pneumonia from the fall and died two weeks later, on February 1, 2015.
She was 85 years old. She was remembered with a moment of silence during Super Bowl XLIX.
Also, the Giants wore a patch on the right side of their uniforms, near the shoulders during the following season in her memory, with the letters "air traffic management" in black on a white circle background.
Mara was an active member of the Giants community.
