Not sure what to say?

I met Mary Ann when we both played in the Harrisburg Symphony Orchestra. We also played together in the Tri-County Orchestra. I was her stand partner playing first violin. We had a lot of fun together and we also played in Tri-County Orchestra, which was a real hoot. I loved all the people in that little orchestra. I had to leave because my family moved in 1978 to New York State. I tried to stay in touch and usually at Christmas, we would exchange cards and letters. I really regret that I...

My dear Aunt Mary Ann, you are in the arms of the angels now, but we will miss you so very much. I will always remember family gatherings at your house, especially Christmases, your spaghetti, homemade Italian bread, herbs & vegetables from your garden, (especially gifts of your dried herbs for my cooking), the hand cranked peach ice cream in summer. We will always remember your violin playing, the many concerts where we saw you play with the symphonies, 4th of Julys where you played on the...

1987, 10 years with Hershey Symphony.

MaryAnn was grounded in this life in so many ways - her family, her faith and her violin. She and I, along with three others, shared the 8 x 10 glossy placed in the lobby of St. Matthew's today. It had been taken in the lobby of the Hershey Theatre to commemorate our 10 years playing in the Hershey Symphony. 1987? Since then Mary Ann and I have been violining together in Tri-County, Central PA Symphony and West Shore symphonies and sharing an incredible friendship as evidenced in the...

Mary Ann was a loving mother and a caring friend to so many. I will miss her and her wonderful, often handwritten letters. Our families have been so close ever since my father and her mother were in first grade together at St. Lawrence School. My heart goes out with loving thoughts and prayers for everyone in her family. I know that she will continue to watch over all of you from her new Home.

My beloved Mother-in-law. I adored her from the first day I met her. She accepted me immediately and never stopped loving on me or praying for me. I called her "Batman" because she was such a fierce force of nature encapsulated in such a small body. She didn´t just garden, she raised crops; didn´t just play violin but was a member of several symphonic orchestras; she wasn´t just faithful but attended Mass daily, prayed before every bite of food and was a blessing to everyone she loved.

Mary Ann a great person and very fine musician. Always remember her. I performed with her many times in Hershey Symphony and a few times with West Shore Symphony.

Mary Ann will be missed as a long time friend, a loving and giving individual, and talented musician. May God bless her family and grant her eternal peace.

Julie Ann Sorry to hear about your mom´s passing My prayers are with you and your family.
