Mary Ann and I got to know each other working nights at JCPENNEY. We decided we wanted to travel, so travel we did—all over the United States, New York, Washington DC, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, Yellowstone, Grand Canyon, Niagara Falls. We became great friends, and in Mary Ann’s words, we never fussed. I will miss her so much!

I was shocked and saddened to learn of Mary Ann’s passing. We lost contact when the Covid epidemic isolated and disrupted the lives of so many of us.
I worked with Mary Ann during the years she worked for the Federal Highway Administration. She was a valuable employee for the organization and was loyal, dedicated and energetic beyond description. We also worked together for many years as members and officers of the local NARFE organization for active and retired federal employees
I offer my heartfelt condolences to all of Mary Ann’s family. May you savor your memories of her until you meet again…
