Because Mary Anne always left a lasting impression on me from our years of working at GW, I often have thought about her and attempted to keep in touch. It is because of that desire that I have come across her obituary. It sounds like Mary Anne did what she always wanted to do, raise a beautiful family and fulfill her life with good, love and caring. She was an amazing nurse with an amazing heart. Heaven is lucky. Until we meet again. Xoxo

My little sister MaryAnne was much loved by her seven brothers and sisters. She was the youngest girl and was always our “little sister”.

We take comfort in knowing how much she was loved by her family. She was so proud of her amazing, loving and beautiful children. She always said they were the happiest and best part of her life.

My heart and love is with each of you today and always.

Aunt Helen

To the beautiful, kind, and loving Maryanne my incredible Aunt. I will always remember our adventures together: Our drive to the beach to hang out with your friend, the oak tree in Arlington where we chose our special leaves, running to the house to get you lunch while you worked at the McLean Swim and Tennis club, spending the night with you and your college roommate(Mara) at Mary Mount University, long talks at the kitchen table, playing tennis, riding the metro to watch the 4th of July fireworks, taking quarters from your stash to play video games at Dart Drug, which were actually silver quarters you were saving for your kids, driving around singing in your silver VW Bug, and playing with your beautiful kids who I adore, and are so very special to me!

Your smile and kind heart lite up a room, and my heart. I will miss you soooo much. I know I will see you again one day, laughing at the table drinking coffee with Grama, and debating with God the best way to make a mint julep;)

Rest in peace my sweet Mary, I LOVE YOU!

It was a pleasure to know Mary Anne. I did her hair at Schenley Gardens. Bear came to the shop too and was always so well behaved. I had to take burrs out of her hair and we always laughed about it. weeding gardens and all the things she did to help. I'm going to miss her alot. Always was proud of her kids. Just a sweet woman all in all. My condolences to all the family. God Bless and give bear a hug for me. Love, Jane

I’m going to miss seeing you and Bear everyday. And seeing you taking care of all the plants. Thanks for all the laughs and memories I’ll hold close to my heart ❤️.. Rest peacefully forever your Sunshine.
