Wow - it's been five years....so unbelievable. She was a force of nature and had so much more to look forward. Soror, ave atque vale (Hail and farewell, Sister!)!
April 2, 2015
We are so very sorry to hear about your loss. Maryanne was a wonderful woman - intelligent, passionate, generous, and warm. I was proud to call her a friend and mentor in so many ways. Maryanne and Maxie touched our family at the Advent and Thayer. She will truly be missed.
All our love during this difficult time,

My sympathy and prayer to Maryanne's family. I knew her in business school and while we lived in Boston. I always looked forward to spending time with her in Boston or other HBS social events. She exuded positive energy and practical advice. A strong woman, a loving mother, and a wise leader. I will miss you Maryanne!

I was shocked and saddened to learn of the loss of Maryanne. Back in the 1980's we were in IBEW LU 103 together, and years later (in 2000) when I was getting my MBA she took the time to take me to a meeting of top women business leaders in Boston, to make introductions and open doors for me. I didn't know her well but remember her as kind and generous and full of light. My condolences to her family and to all who will miss her.

I've always appreciated Maryanne's courage, insights and sense of humor. And the great joy she felt for her daughter Maxie. I was lucky to have her as a friend both in the IBEW and in JP. When 6 women electricians worked together at the Hynes Convention Center, Maryanne got us all to go shopping one day (in our Carharrts) on Newbury St. on our lunch break -- she made that job fun. I was looking forward to our plan to have dinner together soon. My deepest sympathies to her family and friends.
March 18, 2015
Such an admirable woman. Maryanne knew what she wanted to accomplished and achieved it. And she didn't take on the easy stuff. Becoming an electrician, graduating from HBS and starting her own business. She always had time to support women and the causes she believed in despite her busy life. She was a truly generous person. We will miss her. Jill Feblowitz

I had the good fortune to be in Maryanne's homeroom at GLS for 6 years. She never ceased to entertain us and her smile was a constant. When we reconnected a few years ago I was pleased to see that she was as full of life and laughter as before. We have lost a great woman and a wonderful role model. My thoughts and prayers are with Maxie and her family.

Maryanne was a visionary and role model to many in the construction industry of Boston. Her vibrant personality and willingness to accomplish the impossible have estabLished her as a true leader in the labor movement. My sincere condolences to the Cataldo family. I will miss you sister. Lee Vigil

Maryanne was a presence at GLS, demonstrating leadership skills in her youth, thinking outside the box then. Thus, not a surprise she became an accomplished, successful businesswoman in a man's world. She never ceased to surprise. Years passed since GLS. As we came to know each other as adults, I admired her qualtities. . . smart, selfless, an inspiration. My condolences to her family.
Ave atque vale. . . Resquiescat in pace.

Grammy,Maxi,Elissa,Billy,Kristen,Annie,Alison and Sibhan, Our hearts break for all of you threw this difficult time. God has taken Maryanne much to young. Our family has known all of you for a very long time and have always and still will think of you as our family. Maryanne held a very special spot in Nicole's heart as Maryanne was a second mom along with Elissa. We will never forget her warmth, kindness and the way her smile was so infectious. She will be so missed. We will all remember the great memories we shared with all of you, I most will never forget when she would drive Kristen and Nicole to school and they knew they were going to be late. I would laugh and say that's Maryanne! She is now an angel watching over us. We love all of you!
