Maryann continues to help me spiritually when planting my gardens at Jubilee Farm. She always knew how to plant and take care of her gardens. She has helped me along the way. I learned much from her. Sister Suzanne

One of the things I would like to say about Maryann is I always looked forward to her challenges in her conversations with you. There were times when she was right about what she was trying to get across to you and times when I questioned what she was saying. I truly miss those times because I knew that she cared about you and your life stories. I miss her very much...........Love, Your sis, Sister Suzanne

I am so sad to hear of Maryann's passing. She was an euthusiastic, positive influence on the staff at Sun Prairie. She will be missed.

I recruited Maryann to work at Sun Prairie. She was so fun and a positive presence when anyone walked in the door. We became friends and enjoyed reminiscing about her early years in Germany with Army while I had later years in Pacific. She is mourned by so many that worked with her and that she helped get set up to live there. God bless you Maryann.
