Maryanne is was a true gift. We were blessed to have her as a babysitter/nanny for 8 years. But she was more than that, she was family. She not only cared for my children during that time, she also helped me with my mom when my mom was critically ill and she helped with my grandma who had Alzheimers. Maryanne and I shared the love of embroidering. Maryanne had a true gift of crafting and had so many talents. She could make anything. She was would take my children fishing, she would craft with them, she would cook with them. She came to sporting events. She was a true gift and will be missed immensely. I am thankful she was part of our life. She will truly be missed.

Maryanne and Richard (my brother) found each other and lived a very focused life of love for Jesus. My husband and I are a retired military family and I got to know Maryanne in many many phone calls while she and Richard were taking care of our Mom her last days on earth. Maryanne was so very loving and talented. We talked about or mutual live for crochet, canning, freezing, crafts, recipes, grand children. She was a blessing to our family, to my brother Richard and to our Mom. I´m thankful to know she is now in heaven with her Mom and mine. She touched so many lives and lived her beliefs here on earth. So thankful she us singing with the angels as she left us and until we meet again. Kathie Sinteff Stuckey

So sorry to hear about Maryanne. It was quite a shock when I got the news. I´ve known Maryanne for many years through work and she was always go, go, go. She was always telling us her recipes and bringing in treats for us to eat. If I had a question about a recipe or anything she was just a text away. She always talked about her children and grandchildren and how much she loved them and so enjoyed making things for them. She will be very much missed at work and knowing I won´t see her anymore very much saddens me.

I am so sorry for the unexpected loss of a wonderful person who always did for others.

I am so sorry to hear about Maryanne. She is a sweet lady. I´m grateful she is Born Again and placed her faith in Jesus. I cannot imagine this happened. I pray for Richard, Maryanne´s family and friends. She will be greatly missed by everyone she knew. Maryanne loved my Mon Dorothy and she and Richard took care of my Mom there is Summerville until my Mom made her way to Glory. They are there in Heave together again.

Ms. Maryanne was my babysitter for 5 years and part of our family for 8 years. I loved her with all my heart. Even after she stopped watching me, I still loved to spend time with her. I loved all the things we did together like crafting, sewing, fishing, s´mores, and playing. I will never forget her. Love, Landon Garcia
