Our condolences. She was an amazing woman, I was happy to sit around her table ❤ Rest peaceful.
Carol – So sorry to hear about your mother. She was such a sweet lady. I remember all those Sunday morning masses when the two of you would sit by husband and I. She had a strong faith and now resides with our Father in heaven. Rest in Peace

Lit a candle in memory of Mary Ann Gilbert
Our deepest sympathy for your loss. I have fond memories of visiting everyone at Grandpa and Grandma Gilbert’s farm. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Cheryl and Karl Kuschel
My sympathy goes out to your family for your loss. I will always remember aunt Mary Ann’s good cheer and warm smile. My memories of her are in the kitchen and playing cards. When we would come to visit, Mary Ann would miraculously whip up a wonderful meal. She was a wonderful cook. I can hear her laughter as she played cards at grandma and grandpa Thoenen’s house late into the evening.
