Maryann McLane Obituary
Maryann was born in Atlantic City, New Jersey to Dolores and Gerald Marschall before moving to East Falmouth, Massachusetts. She graduated with a B.A. from the University of Miami in Florida before earning her M.S. in Exercise Physiology from Florida International University.
While in Miami she met her husband, Shawn, and together they moved to Glen Allen where Maryann worked for 27 years in rehab medical equipment sales, specializing in pediatrics. After retiring, she continued to volunteer for Help Charities Inc. in Ashland. Maryann loved gardening, baking, crafting, collecting seashells and sea glass, and sharing laughs with family and friends.
Maryann was predeceased by her father, Gerald Marschall; and brother, Jerry Marschall and is survived by her loving husband of nearly 34 years, Dr. Shawn McLane; daughter, Kathryn McLane; son, Craig McLane; mother, Dolores Marschall; sister, Nancy Racine; nieces, nephews, and countless two and four legged friends.
A celebration of Maryann's life will be held at Lewis Ginter Botanical Gardens in Richmond, Virginia on Saturday, September 9 at 1 p.m. Donations may be made in her honor to the Loggerhead Marinelife Center at https://give.marinelife.org/give/500735 to support their work in ocean and sea turtle conservation.

Maryann was the neighbor my young children ran to call 911 when I experienced a grand mal seizure. She had a great sense of humor and always made me laugh with witty comments.
Shawn and kids, I apologize for not attending her celebration of life, but I tested positive for Covid on Friday the day before. My prayers and thoughts are with you.

My first memory of Maryann was in Washington State at a business conference over 30 yrs ago . Snow skiing where we both ended up on the Black Diamond Ski slope ( by mistake I might add) . What an adventure that was - and began many adventures after that .
From that trip started a business partnership but most important began a wonderful friendship that I will truly miss so much .

Maryann. You were and are a free spirited women that always showed compassion towards others. A true friend to many. The class of 1982 will miss you dearly. Continue to fly above, and watch over all of us that remain behind on this planet that we call earth. Until we meet again. Condolences to the family, and to all that knew MaryAnn.
