MARY A. SONNENSCHEIN

Aunt Mary Anne, What can I say, the first time I met her, I remember her stories she would tell. I was very young. I will always have the memory of the dragon story she told. God Bless you and keep you. You will always be in our prayers and our hearts.

I had the good fortune of spending time with my Aunt these last four months, for which I am grateful, as it gave me the chance to appreciate her and her life.

My deepest sympathies! It's nice to know there is someone else in Heaven rooting for us!

Mary Anne was a good Leisure World friend. We enjoyed many happy restaurant trips together. She made me laugh telling me that laughter was good for the soul.

Miss you and love you. Ruthie

Although I had known about her family from her cousin in Virginia I did not meet Mary Anne until 2006 and visited again in 2008 along with calls and e-mails. I am so grateful to Mary Anne in helping me add much of her missing branch to the Green family tree. I only wish I had met...

Mary Anne was one of the sweetest, kindest people I have ever met, always thinking about how she could help others. I met her 5 years ago when I stopped into Bedford Court near Leisure World for my weekly visit with my piano teacher and Mary Anne was there to give Barbara communion. Mary Anne excitedly told me how she was Barbara's piano student when she was about 7 years old and how happy she was to have seen Barbara's name on the communion list. What a wonderful person Mary Anne was! ...

Good afternoon. My name is Steve Milmoe. I first met Mary Anne Sonnenschein in 1970 at the wedding of my brother, Greg, to her sister, Dolores. Over the ensuing years, our paths crossed many times and I grew close to Mary Anne and her husband, Hubert.
I asked myself “What would Mary Anne want me to say about her life?”
That she was the oldest daughter of Philip and Dolores Green's...

Aunt Mary Anne was a very kind and
generous person. May she and all the souls of the faithful departed rest in peace. A big thank you to all those who
made it possible for her to remain at home...what a beautiful gift!
