Will always fondly remember Mary Ann's laughter and enjoyment of a good joke or prank (like when their VW Beetle was turned sideways in one car garage so Carl's and Mary Ann's departure for their honeymoon was delayed!) Glad she can again be with Carl, dancing cheek-to-cheek. Our love and sympathy to David, Martha, and their families.

Mary Ann, what a fine lady and sister-in-law. I enjoyed her sense of humor and her genuine nature and caring. We have a framed photo hanging on our home office wall of Rainbow Falls in Tennessee's Great Smoky Mountains Nat'l Park given to me by her in 1980 with the caption: "When GOD measures a man HE puts the tape around his heart." You are in our hearts and we love you, Mary Ann. Gene and Cristina

Tom and I spent many Sundays attending Mass with Mary Ann and Carl at St John's Newman Center in Morgantown, We always enjoyed Mary Ann's sense of humor and stories. May her family find comfort in knowing she left her positive mark on many friends in Morgantown. Yesterday, my daughter reminded me that she and Mary Ann did some fun shopping many years ago in Dallas, TX. Mary Ann was looking for a special gift for Carl.
