Maryann Anglim Obituary
BRUNSWICK - Maryann Donlon Anglim, 68, died Friday, May 4, 2018, at home with her family by her side, after a two-year battle with cancer.
Maryann was born on May 10, 1949, in Chicago, Ill., to Francis P. Donlon, M.D. and Emilia (Brodlo) Donlon. She was raised in Riverside, Ill. She received her B.S.N. from Loyola University of Chicago and married Thomas E. Anglim, both in 1972. She spent most of her nursing career in the operating room.
Maryann was the mother of two daughters, Guerin and Kara. She coauthored a book about her daughter Kara's illness. During that difficult time, Maryann was Kara's advocate, caregiver, and cheerleader. Maryann received her Master's of Jurisprudence in health care law at the age of 63. She was an avid reader, a knitter, a creative person who would make her own cards and decoratively address them. Maryann filled those cards with her precise handwriting expressing gratitude, condolences, compliments, or quirky observations. She enjoyed watching the Red Sox, the Patriots, and March Madness. Maryann and husband and friends had been involved in yearly trips to explore different baseball parks and their cities. She loved to dig in the dirt and preferred the woods around her home to be neat and could often be found "raking the forest." She raised chickens outside and composting worms in the cellar.
Maryann is survived by her husband, Tom; daughters, Guerin and husband, Nick Potzka; and Kara Anglim; a brother, Stephen Donlon; a sister, Dorothy Donlon and her husband, William Kysiak; and nine nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her parents, sister-in-law Mary Clarke Donlon, and good friend Robert Knight.
Friends are invited to visit from 5-7 p.m. Tuesday, May 15, at Brackett Funeral Home, 29 Federal St., Brunswick. The funeral Mass will be held at 11 a.m. Wednesday at St. Mary's Church of All Saint's Parish, 144 Lincoln St., Bath. Interment will be in Oak Grove Cemetery for immediate family. For those unable to attend, condolences to the family may be posted and a "Tribute" of her life viewed at: www.brackettfuneralhome.com.

I went to Nazareth Academy High School with Mary Ann. We were in the same Latin class. She was so smart! I was her campaign manager as she ran for Treasurer of student council. She was our class president our senior year. We all loved Maryann! She was so sweet, kind, and smart....absolutely beautiful inside and out. My deepest condolences to you, Tom and Kara. My heart and prayers are with you. Our Faith tells us she is "HOME" ! Much love to all of you. Jeannine Malone

Dear Tom, Guerin, and Kara,
Bob and I send our deepest condolences to all of you. I have good memories of how enthusiastic and positive Maryann was years ago when a group of us were learning how to lift weights at the old "Y." I was so appreciative of her loving care and support when Heidi had an ACL repair! With love from us both,

Tom, Guerin, and Kara, my condolences to you all for the loss of Maryann. As a kid, I always looked forward to receiving Christmas gifts every year with Maryann's impeccable handwriting on the cards. She thoughtfully continued to send gifts well into our adult years. It's fitting that she chose a career dedicated to helping others, because she clearly enjoyed making others feel appreciated. She will be missed! Love to you all.
