I am so very sorry for your loss. My mom Janie Shamberg (AKA Janie Burger per Mary Susan) babysat for the children. I have wonderful memories of your family. Your parents made a big contribution to this world. May they rest in peace. Margie Shamberg Zronek

I am deeply saddened that I am just now aware of Mary Ann's passing. She was such a gracious and knowledgeable lady, always welcoming and willing help where she could in any situation. Many years of working with her at Benjamin Rose and learning from her are a treasured memory. She loved gardening and with her endearing nature nurtured many people. God Bless You Mary Ann for I am much better person for having known you.

Mary Ann, God took you in his loving arms, He saw you need rest. His garden must be beautiful, because The Good Lord only takes the best. Mary Ann was a lovely lady and a wonderful nurse. My deepest sympathy and prayers to the entire family. May God be with you and comfort you in this difficult time of sorrow. Sincerely, Nancy L. Burkle, MSN, RN, APRN-CNS
