Mary Anne Richey (Reimann), SHS Class of 1935 A native of Shelbyville, Mary Anne attended Purdue University and enrolled in the University of Arizona College of Law in 1948. She received her J.D. in 1951 and was the only woman among 45 successful candidates for admission to the bar that year. From the beginning of her legal career, Mary Anne distinguished herself as a talented lawyer committed to fairness and justice. She served as a Deputy County Attorney of Pima County; an assistant United States Attorney, becoming the first woman United States Attorney in Arizona, holding that office from 1960 to 1961; and a Special Assistant Attorney General of Arizona. In 1964, she began her long tenure as a jurist, first serving as a Pima County Superior Court judge, then in 1976, President Gerald Ford appointed her to the United States District Court for the District of Arizona, the first woman to hold that position in Arizona. She continued as a federal trial judge until her death in 1983. Mary Anne profoundly touched the lives of all who knew her. As a lawyer and judge, she gained the deep respect of colleagues, attorneys, litigants, and the public. She combined her remarkable career with steadfast devotion to her family, husband William Richey and daughter Annie. She was, in addition, an avid sportswoman, an accomplished pilot (having served with the Women's Army Service Pilots during World War II), and a leader in community affairs.
