My Aunt Maryann was a beautiful soul who had the kindest eyes and most generous heart. She loved her family and always made everyone feel welcome and appreciated. She especially loved her dogs and showered them with affection. She loved to hug and feel close to her family and it is so devastatingly sad to lose her so unexpectedly and with so many unansweredquestions. We will love you eternally and will always cherish the momentswe spent with you. Forever in our hearts and minds. ~Your Goddaughter Marilyn and NeiceLisa

I was so sad to hear of her passing. Maryann was such a caring lady and who will be greatly missed. I always enjoyed talking with her and she always had the time to speak with anyone. I suppose we never realize how much we affect so many lives and Maryann was such a person who had such a positive effect on each one she encountered. She will always remain in our hearts. Rest in peace my friend.

Maryann was a devoted daughter to our late parents, Edward and Cecelia (Pasierbowicz) Bonar and wonderful baby sister. She was loving, and never missed sending birthday greetings to her siblings, brothers and sister in laws, nieces and nephews. Her godchildren held a special place in her heart. She was the Aunt who gave the most hugs to all who she cherished. Maryann will be missed a thousand fold.....never will forget you Maryann...your "older" sister Alice
