Not sure what to say?

Maryann was such a positive soul. I sure enjoyed our monthly appointments together to cut and style her hair. Such special lady. I will miss her greatly.

Even though I was her main housekeeper at Christian care nursing center in Muskegon, we became good friends, we would talk about life all the time and I would always brag about and show off pictures and videos of my son

Maryann and I go back to early school days at St. Mary´s. I sat behind her the year she was diagnosed with polio. Shocking for the entire class. Her husband, Jim, worked at the same company I did. Spent time with them in onekema with other of the karnitz´s extended family of friends. Maryann was a loving person. A few of her friends called her Saint Mary and she was saintly!!!!!!!!!! She will be missed.

When Maryann & Jim came to visit we knew fun was to be shared! Her wise &funny &steadfast spirit will be with us always ♥

MaryAnn was one of the sweetest people you could ever know. Always smiling and never complaining. She and Jim were married the same day as my husband and I were. Such a SWEETHEART!! Sharron(Robbins)(Brown)Tufts

So sorry for the loss of Maryann,,,she was the sweetest. She is so missed already.

I met Maryanne 2 years ago at Christian Care. I knew right away we would be friends. Maryanne would sit with my mom every morning until we arrived. She will be missed by many. I am so grateful to have met Maryanne, in the short time I knew her she taught me so much. R.I.P Maryanne
