I worked with Mary Ann at Downriggers in the early 1990’s when I was a teenager. She was a lovely woman full of warmth and great energy. Even years later when I would see her on the street, she would give me a big hug. The world has lost a truly good person.
Mary Ann was a pure spark of Joy and Love! She left a Luminous trail wherever she went. Thank you for all the people you touched with your Love.
Some people can light up a room by just “being.” Mary Ann was one of those. We always remember her with joy but miss her with sadness in our hearts.
I was married to Mary Ann for 10 years. She was a remarkable woman. It has been almost 40 years since we separated. I was surprised at the depth of my grief after all these years apart. My marriage to Mary Ann was the best 10 years of my life. I miss her.
