Rich, Moira, Molly and Clare, We were so heartbroken to hear of your mother’s passing. We will miss Aunt Mary Ann’s laugh and funny stories at holiday gatherings. It truly will not be the same without her. I will always see her and my mother talking and laughing in the corner. She was such a loving and thoughtful godmother to me. Growing up she never forgot a birthday or holiday of mine. I was so lucky to have her as my godmother. Please know we are all thinking of you all. Deepest sympathy, Maureen, Josh, Eli and Lilah

Molly, Mike, Michael Patrick, Megan, Mary and the McQuillen family, Our deepest condolences to your entire family during this most difficult time. I will forever cherish the wonderful memories I have with Ms. Mary Ann while traveling with Molly to Pittsburgh during our college road trip days. Her smile and laughter was truly one of a kind. Her dedication to family, friends, church and work is an inspiration and a blessing to those she shared life with. May she rest in eternal peace with our Lord, forever free of any pain or difficulties. Sending love and prayers today and always, Jules Soapes and family
