I can never forget my niece, MaryAnne.

Last summer sitting around the porch during the power outage and sharing stories of our lives with 3 generations of her family, made me proud to be a friend of Mary's. It was a pleasure to enjoy her vivacious spirit and confidence. She is missed.

I am so sorry to hear of Mary's death. I worked with Mary at O&M Direct and as others have already noted, she was always full of positive energy, warmth and care. She had a big heart that made the world better. My deepest condolences.

I've just heard the shocking news of Mary's passing. I knew Mary for years at Ogilvy & Mather Direct, and through her years at Scholastic. She was an inspiration -- a model for all of us in every way. We are better people for having known her. My heart is with her family at this difficult time.

I knew Mary through work in NY when she was at Ogilvy. I remember her displaying an amazing combination of care, humour and formidable force when she decided to make something happen. So saddened to hear this news.

I had the privilege of knowing Mary as a client (Scholastic), and later as a coworker at FCB. Mary was sunshine, sweet and smart. My condolences to her family and many friends.

Mary has left us way to soon. But i am fortunate enough to have known her through out her entire life and cherish the fond memories that are left for not only me but my children and extended family. Mary accomplished more by the age of 50 before most people do in a lifetime. Her heart was larger than life itself and the tenacity to excell in business she possessed will provide as a model for all. But, personally i will miss my cousin for who she was. Our trips to the Outer Banks, the Jersey Shore, New York City, Virginia Beach and the river in Urbanna, Va., not to mention the countless games of 'Charades' will keep her in our hearts forever. On behalf of the St.George's, we will miss you Mary!!! Your cousin, Jeff.

There from day one as a partner in the work of developing Girls Prep Mary was stalwart and focused. My more personal memory is of having organized the holiday giving that she spearheaded with help from Jersey friends. We would meet at her apartment (usually the Saturday before Christmas) and divide a bounty of food and gifts for the most needy among our families. Bounty -- breakfast, and Christmas dinner, presents (3-5) for ALL of the kids in the family!!! And then we would head out into the projects usually with my daughter and her niece in tow. One of the most meaningful expressions of love I have witnessed. Spearheaded with Mary's typical energy and focus. I will miss her.

My cousin Mary was a special person. She had an enthusiasm for life and everything that she did. We were all luck to have her as part of our family. She will be greatly missed and never forgotten. The world was a better place for having her. She touched many lives with her good works of charity.
“Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some stay a while and leave footprints on our heats, and we are never, ever the same.” Mary left footprints on many heart….

It was a pleasure to work with Mary. Upon joining the Scholastic Education team, she was very inviting and genuinely cared about making sure I got settled in to my job. All of my memories of her involve riotous laughter. She was a truly spirited person and as I reflect on our interactions, only a smile comes to my face. She will be missed.

There are not enough words or tears to express the sadness that I am feeling. I will miss my adopted High School friends' laugh, wisdom, witty comments and caring heart. Her appreciation for all the good things in life. We were all the better for knowing her . I will miss you Mary.

I did not know Mary Anne was sick and am so sad to hear of her passing. The outpouring of tributes from people far and wide is such a testament to her life. Mary accomplished more in 50 years - helped more people, changed the way children learn, traveled, made friends, and learned so much about the world - than most people given twice as long to live. My deep condolences to her family.

My sister-in-law Mary Mitchell was a very special person, to me and to so many. I loved spending time with her no matter where we were, and there will always be a special place in my heart for our weekend morning conversations, where we would catch up on family news, hear her enthusiastic updates on Girls Prep, discuss books and travel ... the topics were endless. I treasure all of those moments and am heartbroken for all of us whose lives she touched so beautifully. Thank you, Mary, for being a great friend and an inspiration.

I am so very sorry to hear the news. Although I never met Mary, Paul and Linda are very special people and spoke lovingly of her during our visits. While nobody should have to bury their own child, the Mitchells certainly do not deserve such a tragedy. I pray your health and strength during this time.

May Mary's family and loved ones draw some small comfort through these and other pages just how many lives she touched, and how special she was.

"There's something about Mary...," something so special that I can't find the right words to express what that something special is. I met Mary only twice. She came across as a very generous, kind hearted, fun loving person. All the other wonderful things I learned about her came from my daughter Kristen, Mary's brother Jim's wife. Family, friends, co-workers, and so many others, are lucky to have known her. The sadness I feel over her loss will be with me for a very long time.
Love,

MARY WAS BIGGER THAN LIFE I WILL MISS HER DEARLY
June 8, 2013
Mary was more than a sister in law to me - she was my advocate who encouraged me to take risks and to always do more. While my kids may have lost their adored Aunt Mary, the legacy of her life and her good works of charity will stay with them forever. Mary truly made the world a better place and I'm sorry she's left us. My deepest condolences to all of her friends, co-workers and family members.
