Mary Ann Marples

Belated condolences to Mary Ann's family. My parents Fred & Wanda Warren continue as members of Annandale UMC, and made me aware of her passing on. Your Mom, who I knew as "Mrs. Marples", was an awesome handbell choir director at Immanuel UMC. We made great music, added at least one octave to the original set of bells, and performed in regional concerts under her direction. I still have a record album that was made of the choir's performances in 1982-83, when Ken Bissell was director....

My sincere condolences to the family of the late Mary Marples. She was the widow of my distant cousin Richard A. Marples, whom I corresponded-with, years ago. Mary was a fine person. She will be missed. Again, my sympathies to the entire family.

Respectfully,

JAMES A. MARPLES

My sincere condolences to the whole family of the late Mary Marples. She was married to my distant cousin Richard A. Marples. Again, my sympathies,

--James A. Marples.

Mary Ann I very much appreciated watching and listening you sing in the choir. You and Dick were such solid and loving members of the Immanuel faith community. I eventually joined the choir to sing with you and enjoyed singing along side of you. Betty and my thoughts are with your family, who by the time I got involved with Immanuel they had moved on. Mary Ann, you were a blessing to so many in our church. --Bill and Betty Sinclair

To Susie and family, Eldon and I are thinking of you and remembering Mary Ann,and all of the years together at Immanuel United Methodist Church.
Eldon & Delsa Hildebrandt

May your memories of the wonderful times you shared with your loved one comfort you and your family, today and always.

Mary Ann was a wonderful neighbor and a good friend. Our daughter learned Latin from her at Annandale H.S. We send our condolences to all her family.

My love and thoughts are with you. I know she has joined my sweet little mommy Margaret Tucker, in Heaven and they have already reunited in a victorious embrace.

I will miss your beautiful smile ! With all my love April
