I just found out that Mary Ann had passed away. We had not been in contact for quite some time. She was a member of our chapter, Laureate Chi, Beta Sigma Phi for a while. She also bought Avon from me, which she would get quite excited about!

My husband and I helped her celebrate her 70th birthday which was really the last time we saw each other.

We are very sorry for your loss. She will always be remembered for her smile!

I'm very sorry for your loss John. Mary Ann was an amazing woman and mentor. I'll miss you.

Our condolences to John , Corinne and the girls. Just read about her passsing today in the Herald.

It was Mary Ann who convinced her Dad ( Bill ) to return my call over 40 years ago now that was instrumental in our families getting together. I will forever be grateful for that and all the good times we had together.

Thank you so much Mary Ann. May you rest in peace and know you will be remembered.

I read in the Herald this morning that Mary Ann had passed away. As a friend of her Mom and Dad, and knowing her from friend gatherings, I wanted to send my condolences on behalf of the Whiteford family. When Mary Ann and I met, sadly and mostly at funerals of family members, she was always gracious and welcoming. May her journey be filled with wonder. Blessed be.
