I am sorry to learn of Mary Ann's passing. I had the pleasure of working as an office assistant/secretary 40 years ago with Dr. Schoenwetter. Mary Ann was a patient of his, and I always enjoyed her enthusiasm and good humor, when your mother would bring her for a medical visit. Blessings to all of you.

Dear Greg, Rick and families: I was also saddened to come across the news of your dear sister's passing. I have such fond memories of all the neighbors on Joylynne Drive. I was glad to learn she had a happy life and was loved and cared for by many people. May she rest in peace. Gail (Amundson) Greve

My sympathy and prayers to Mary Ann's family. I remember my Mom, Bea Hoffman, speaking about Pat and Mary Ann. It may have been as part of the Special Religious Ed Program situated at Immaculate Heart of Mary that first began with the Sisters from St. Coletta's coming to teach Religious Ed. My brother, Matt, who will be 54 this month has been a client at St. Coletta's for more than 35 yrs. and comes to visit me twice a month. He knew Mary Ann when he still lived at home and went to SRE at IHM.
It was great for Mary Ann to have such loving parents and many caring people to brighten her life.

Our Sympathy and Prayers to Mary Ann's Family. Our Mom, Beatrice Hoffman, knew Mary Ann's parents and my brother, Matt, who will turn 54 this month, knew her through attending the Special Religious Education Program that took place at Immaculate Heart of Mary Parish many years ago with
S. Sheila and the Sisters from St. Coletta's. Mary Ann had exuberance, thanks to her loving parents and the care & support of many people.

Dear Greg, Rick and Families ~ I was very sorry to learn of Mary's passing. She was always friendly, and quick to laugh . We were kitty corner neighbors, and among the youngest kids on Joylynne Drive back in the day. She came to my birthday parties. Hoping that memories and the comfort and support of family and friends will bring peace. You have my condolences. Mary (Koster) Pfefferkorn
