Mary Anne Eschelbach

Still think of Aunt Babe and the good, long lasting friendship she had with my mother. They died one year and a few days apart. I frequently think back to those glory days of fun and she and Uncle Don were always there with us, just like family. Never, ever forgotten.

Babe and I were friends in high school. I spent many days at her home as a teenager. She had a wonderful father. All the whit.hutch girls were in my wedding..so many fond memories of times at their house..they all have a special place in my heart. Peg Fowler

Mary Anne added sparkle wherever she was and anyone in her presence felt its warmth. Her smile was always present, her laugh was infectious and together they just made her sparkle brighter. I will miss our time together on the pool deck at the beach chatting about family, Wolverine sports (especially football), which way to turn for our next walk, and what to have for dinner. Our visits to each other, our phone calls and emails were always something our family looked forward to with...

"Aunt Babe" was one of the best neighbors I've ever had (Don is the other). They are both a part of our family and we will miss her tremendously.

Remember "Babe" from high school and the flower shop. She was always very friendly and happy! She will be missed by many.

I was probably 12 years old before I realized that Aunt Babe was not my blood relative! Being close with my mother and father, Art and Helen Parker, Aunt Babe and Uncle Don were always at our family functions. My children came to know them as Aunt and Uncle, too. Aunt Babe was always kind to me and in good humor. We spent many years hanging out at Huron Valley Swim Club, shopping with her and my mom, and going to parties. I hope she realized how much I admired her. I am very lucky to have...

Don:
So sorry for your loss. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
RIP Babe, you will be missed by all who knew you.

Don and Family,
We are so sorry to hear this news. You are in our thoughts.
