To the Dwyer Family- So sorry for your loss! Rest assure that Maryann is now entertaining the Beatific Vision! Maryann resonated a mixture of Professionalism, Enthusiasm, & Humor, when she would arrive for her Parkview Night Shift. I remembered her friendly, easy style ,but kept task oriented, starting her shift by fixing the large coffee urn on the front desk. That coffee was the best too.
She always had a smile for everyone. Within seconds, she would get me grinning because she could be very humorous, at the same time, performing job duties. She was a rare find! A Wonderful Person!
I am glad she is at peace!..... Pat Cimorelli

To Kate, Paul and Joe - While our lives have grown years and miles apart, I was so sorry to hear of Mary Ann's death. What I remember of your sister was her big heart and her joy and excitement in planning events (even a May Procession at St Helena's Grade School). She was a wonderful childhood friend and neighbor on Fairhill Street in Olney. Wishing you and all the many others she touched comfort and peace.

I worked with Mary Ann at the hospital and she was funny and always talking about her mother. She was a really nice person. I will remember her and her family in my prayers.

My Deepest sympathy to the Dwyer family on the loss of Mary Ann. I worked with her at Parkview Hospital and have nothing but wonderful memories of her. She always put everyone first and made sure a Birthday was always celebrated. She went over and above for many, many people. I am sure God has a special place for her in heaven because she was our Angel here on earth. God Bless you Mary Ann and God speed my friend. Rest in peace.
