IN MEMORIUM
MARY THERESA BENEDICT “ANNIE” 1947 – 2021 It is with great sadness that the Singapore Association of Las Vegas Nevada (SALVN) must announce the passing of Mary Theresa Benedict, affectionately known as “Annie” to SALVN members past and present dating back to the Singapore Association of Nevada (SAN) days of which she was an original member. Annie was born in Singapore on July 5, 1947 and passed away on February 20, 2021 in Las Vegas, Nevada. A graduate of the Convent of the Holy Infant Jesus Secondary School (CHIJ) in Singapore, Annie arrived in Las Vegas along with her husband Benny, and her daughter Jennifer including her husband, Ronald and two children. In 2000. Her eldest son, Jeffrey Benedict had preceded the arrival of the extended family, having set up residence in Las Vegas in 1995. Another brother, Jason, subsequently joined the family in Las Vegas at a later date. Annie was always known to be friendly, personable and quick with a smile. An avid basketball fan, Annie enjoyed attending her grandson Ryan’s games and following her favorite professional team, the L.A Lakers. Annie derived much pleasure from tending to her flower garden. SALVN members will undoubtedly remember her outstanding cooking expertise as most have been treated through the years to her delectable dishes, such as, Chicken Curry, Sayoh Lodeh, Rojak, Nasi Lemak & Sambal at countless SALVN pot luck events. Annie was also known for her caring attitude, especially as it pertained to her children and grandchildren and even took on child care duties periodically for some of the SALVN members. In recent months, following the death of her beloved husband, she became particularly close to her sole surviving son Jason and his son Ryan with whom she resided. Annie was preceded in death by her loving husband Joseph “Benny” Benedict and her son Jeffrey Jude Benedict. She is survived by her daughter, Jennifer Danker and her husband Ronald, her son Jason and his wife Karen, along with grandchildren Melissa & Vanessa Danker and Ryan Benedict. May she rest in peace. She will be greatly missed.
