Dear Art & family,

It is times like this we realize just how much it means to have family, and caring friends.

Maryann had a voice and laugh that made me think of the tinkle of silver bells.

She was a wonderful friend and a beautiful hostess to our last "dragon lady" get-together.

    We shall all miss her..

With Love,  Marilyn (Winnie)

To Art and family,

I've kept in touch with Maryann through Marilyn Markus, at whose home we are currently visiting.  

I have fond memories of Maryann from waaaayyy back in high school, and send sincere condolences to you all as you grieve your loss.

May your happy memories sustain you through this difficult time, and in the future, as Maryann lives on in all of our hearts and minds.

Barb and family,

So sorry for the loss of your Mom, my thoughts and prayers are with you.  I didn't have the pleasure of knowing your mother, but with a daughter like you there is no doubt she was an awesome lady.  With sincere sympathy, Jodi & Perry

Art, Barb, Steve, and family:

My heart is broken for you all.  We truly lost one of God's best way too soon.  Maryann always treated me as one of her own.  She was my "second mother," my friend, confident, and inspiration.  I consider her one of God's greatest blessing in my life.  She never ceased to amaze me with her devotion to her family, her courage, grace, and humilty.  She taught me that here was not a hole in my heart but an opening--an opening in which to let love, family, and friendship in.  She had the spiritual gifts of love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, and gentleness.  Maryann made a difference in my life and a difference in the lives of everyone she touched.  Her greatest joy was to see someone else happy and to bring a bit of sunshine into their life in any way she could.  Her love for Art, Barb, Michael, Steve, and all her grandchildren was the greastest expression of a wife and mother's love that have ever seen.

God bless you all and give you comfort in this time of grieving,

Love,

Catie Spiten

What more could I say other than Maryann was a "Class Act"? I'm quite sure I was one of many touched by her gift of friendship! Although I was an employee of the company, I often felt treated like a member of the family. We will miss her... God Bless you all!

Mike and Kim Donahoe

What is there to say about Maryann?  She was a truly magnificent person.  When I met her, I felt that I had known her all of my life.  She was the best friend that my husband, Gordon, ever had.  I know, also that she was also the best friend to anyone who knew her. She was a wonderful wife, mother, and grandmother, and she can never be replaced.

Rest in peace, dear one.

Gordon and Cathy Holmes

Art:
