My first memory of Mary Ann...we were paired up in HS Latin. We translated Homer's Iliad. I couldn't have passed Latin without her. We enjoyed sharing stories & laughs. I so admired her multi talents & dedication. Mary Ann was a true character, girlfriend & one of a kind. May your voice & spirit fly free. Go Cards!

I had the pleasure of working with Mary when she was employed by the Housing Authority of Champaign County. She always was upbeat and willing to help. She invited me to a party at her house years ago where I had the pleasure of meeting her close friends Mr. and Mrs. Lou Henson. She had more kindness for others than I had ever been exposed to during that time in our lives. She left her energy to do good on many coworkers. She'll be missed by many who had the pleasure of knowing her

Mary Ann was my next door neighbor all thru our school years. Spent many hours with her & her family, making memories. She was such a beautiful soul. Fly high,Mary! Sing in God´s choir as your dad plays the piano & mom watches on. Hugs to Janie & Paul.
