I worked with Mary Ann at Holy Cross from 1984 until her retirement . You couldn't find a more dedicated coworker. It was like a breath of fresh air when she came in to work at 10 am for her shift, sometimes bringing food left over from a gathering or pastry from our local bakery. We bonded over our Irish heritage with my parents and her grandparents coming from Ireland. May she rest in peace and may her soul pass through old Ireland.

I have the privilege of being one of her daughter in-laws. I loved her kindness, wisdom, compassion, humor and infectious love of life. She always made me feel special which was one of her many gifts. She inspired me to give more of myself and I will do as much good as I can in her honor. I miss her deeply but being a part of her family is one of the greatest blessings of my life.

Mary Ann was so special to our family. We were so lucky that our daughter Teresa married in this wonderful family. When she came to see Bob and Teresa we would have a great time talking about life and ancestry and eating good food. We will miss her very much and hope I can be a good Grandmother like she was. God bless this wonderful lady

She was my sisters mother-in-law. One of the sweetest ladies you could ever meet. Very full of life and really enjoyed getting her family together. She will be missed.

My Mom was one of the wisest people I ever knew. She was extremely good at being 100% present when communicating. I remember her telling us to kiss the guests at a get together (even if we didn't know them very well). She had the best hugs. She was known to send out hugs over the phone.
