My memories of Mary Ann are filled with family gatherings, fabulous home cooked meals, bountiful gardens and lots of laughter. My favorite memories are from the chilly spring mornings that we picked strawberries together, followed by a hot breakfast and long talks over hot mugs of coffee. May you rest in peace knowing that you taught your family to believe in God and love one another.

Always had fun visiting Mary Ann and Jerome on their farm. Mary Ann showed so much love for everyone even if we were getting into trouble in the barn. Such a strong lady and a terrific Aunt!
