Not sure what to say?

Mary Faith was my roommate at Chatham Hall. We were good friends through many changes over the years. I still miss her.

Mary Faith was a remarkable librarian and person; if there is a memorial service please let me know.

I worked with Mary Faith at GWU in the early eighties but continued to connect with her at ALA conferences for many years after I moved to a new position in KY. She was a delightful, warm person and I always enjoyed our ALA get-togethers. After Mary Faith retired, I was always impressed with her travels, research projects and volunteer activities. Her work and her post-work life are an inspiration to me. My condolences to her family. She was an original and wonderful person.

Mary Faith was such a good friend to me during her years at Marshall. She taught me so much, and our friendship continued when she and Mark moved to the DC area. We always made a point of visiting (usually going out to eat) when I made my yearly trip to DC. She will be missed! My condolences to her family. Cora Teel, professor Emeritus, Marshall University.

Dear Mary Faith Family, I figured that all was not well, but I'm old too, and distracted by all the Covid stuff. I am Noree (Eleanore) Lee, Mary Faith's room mate sophomore year at Chatham Hall. I visited with her family in Lexington and stayed in touch with her off and on over the years. (I'm retired and living in Berkeley, CA these days). She was an extraordinary person. My deep sympathies. Noree
