I remember Mary Ann well. No one could forget that smile and her humor. She was really funny and so positive about everything. She will be missed so much by her family and friends and everyone she touched throughout her life.

Dear Grumley family,
my heartfelt condolences to hear of MaryAnn´s passing I knew MaryAnn from the Kodak Hawkeye plant with a wonderful smile. I never knew she was a twin until years later and I have twin daughters so it was nice to have something in common, besides work. Prayers for all of you in the days ahead. Rest In Peace MaryAnn
