I was friends with Mary Ellen over 40 years ago when we worked at Andrews Air Force Base together. In those years I have moved to NJ and now California, but every time I go back to visit my family in Maryland, I get together with Barbara Morris and Tish Jolly and they let me know about Mary Ellen and Lee. My prayers are with Lee and his daughters.

Our prayers and thoughts go out to the Shoe family. Mary Ellen, Lee, Leigh and Kim have always been a beautiful part of our community since the 70's. It's with a heavy heart that we cope with her passing. She leaves many of her beautiful and genuine qualities with her children and grandchildren to carry on with.
With much love and sadness,
Gary and Michelle Pierpont

Mary Ellen and I started first grade at St. Bernard's in Riverdale together. I then skipped 3rd grade, so was a year ahead of her both at St. B's and at Seton. I remember Mary Ellen as a very smart and friendly girl. Family and friends, I am so sorry for you loss. Comforting thoughts and prayers are being sent your way. Mary Ellen is now at peace. Your memories of her will sustain all of you until you are reunited in Heaven. God bless and look over you at this sad time.

I was Mary Ellen's cousin on the McDonald side (related through her mother [Aunt "Tish" O'Halloran]and my father [Robert James McDonald, Sr.]). I am about 4-5 years younger than she was. As children, our families would visit each other from time to time during the late '50's and early '60's when they lived in Wildercroft, Md. and we lived in Edmonston, Md. I always enjoyed our too seldom visits with the O'Hallorans, unfortunately, the visits stopped around the time of my father's untimely death in 1962. Our two families sort of drifted apart after that. Soon the O'Halloran kids grew up and got married, moved away, and started their own families. Later I did the same. We would see each other only at an occasional wedding or funeral (a situation familiar to many of us). One of the nicest visits was when I took my wife and my kids to Mary Ellen's home in around year 2000-2002 or so? We hadn't seen each other in many years, but were able to pick-up on our lives like no time had passed at all. She called some of our other cousins after we arrived for the visit and the next thing I knew, it turned into a mini-family reunion. It was the first time my kids got to see some of the folks on that side of my family tree. She was always so fun and seemed to have a real zest for life. I am glad that her life turned out so well and just sorry that it ended at such a young age. She will always live on in my memories.
