Not sure what to say?

I attened Fenwick HS and was a year ahead of Mary Ann at Marquette.I was deeply honored when Mary Ann debuted in 1960 to be her escort to the Presentation Ball at the Conrad Hilton.I can remember how proud Dr. and Mrs.Josh were of her on that occasion.I was also very proud that Mary Ann wore my fraternity pin while she was at Marquette.Although we drifted apart over the years,I'll never forget her warm bubbly personality,her great dancing ability,her positive mental attitude and her great...

Mary Ann was my roommate at Marquette, she had the dancing shoes and I had my science books. We all tryed the shoes on, even the painful toe shoes but no one could wear them like she did. Jennifer, we met at dinner when you came home from the Peace Corp, you are her most cherished and now she adds your darling Rosie. I was between New Orleans and Naples but was there in spirit at St. Pats. I will miss by pal and know she will be looking down and watching over you and Rosie

Mary Ann was the most positive person I have ever known. She was a dear friend and a very special person. Mary Ann had so much class and handled her last years with incredible dignity and love. I will miss her. My thoughts and prayers are with Jenny and Rosie and her family.

Mary Ann was filled with life, love, energy and fun.
My mother and I coined a phrase "Having a Mary Ann day". We would say it if we got a lot of errands accomplished in a day.
She was a great friend.
I will miss her greatly.

I have fond memories of Mary Ann from St. Giles and Trinity. She always had a fabulous smile and a kind word for everyone. My deep condolences to her beloved family.

Michele,
Remembering you and Mary Ann in our minds and in our hearts. She was a special lady. Love to you all. Anita

I remember when we were in high school and I had promised to play the piano for some dancing something that she was going to perform in. We worked at her house and on that same night she was going to a Fenwick dance--I forget what they were called--but she didn't care about that; all she cared about was perfecting her dance routine with me. At the time, I was fat and unpopular with boys--I never did go to a Fenwick dance--and I couldn't believe that anyone would find that great honor lesser...

We will all miss you Mary Ann, you could light up a room and you were so much fun always.
