Maryann was a wonderful and kind person. Always wanting to help anyone who needed it. She shared her love for Jesus with anyone who would listen. She will be greatly missed.
Mary Ann was a radiant star shining everywhere she went. It was a priviledge to know her.

I had the extreme pleasure of spending time with Mary Ann at Aksarben Village. She was such a delights she always had the love of Jesus and sparkly fingernails. She was the sweetest to other residents in the community and my life is better because our paths crossed. My condolences to the family.
