I also was in Maribeth's class at nursing school. She was so easy to be with and such fun. We had great times together and played a lot of Euhre. Many regrets for not staying in touch.

Maribeth will be so missed!! I went to nursing school with her and she was a riot. Several of us school chums stayed with Maribeth while we took state boards. Lots of card playing and good times. You are so loved! Joy P. Bolton Hart

I met Maribeth at Eisenhower back in the "70s and she was a wonderful nurse and we became friends for all these years. I know the family and close friends will really miss her, and so do I. We know she is in a better place with no disease of cancer and no more pain and discomfort. Don Ratzlaff, R.N.
