She was born September 9, 1938 to Reno and Ella Dock in Detroit, Michigan. The family relocated to Albion in 1941. MaryAnn graduated from Albion High School in 1955, and attended the University of Rochester, graduating in 1959 with a Bachelor of Science degree, and her RN license. She married Donald Salisbury in 1960. MaryAnn worked at the former Arnold Gregory Memorial Hospital in Albion, and as the facility nurse at Owens Illinois in Brockport before returning to Arnold Gregory. In 1971, she became the Assistant Director of Nursing at the Orleans County nursing home.

MaryAnn was dedicated to the community, and volunteered for decades. She served on the Board of Directors for the former Little People's Center, Head Start, and Community Action.
