I was honored to have known both Maryanne and David following their retirement and always enjoyed the vibrant love and joy Maryanne brought to everything she did. I will miss laughing with her about life’s ups and downs, and her passion for UConn women’s basketball. We lost touch after she moved from JC but her smile, warm, spirit, and generous heart remain with me. My prayers offered for friends and family. Laurel Kramer
With love and hugs.
Sending love and support to you all during this challenging time. Love, Charles, Carol, Charles III, Karen & Deborah Danforth, the kids and Sadie
So many fond memories of working for Maryanne. Girl Scout adult retreats where she taught me to cross stitch, indicating it was one of the hardest things she had ever done in her life! ߤ£ She taught me how to be an executive director and a leader. And who will ever forgot her “white gloves and party manners” lectures? ߤ£. And then there was the van trip to Girl Scout National Conference in Minneapolis! The van broke down in Mason City, IA! The best of times.
To Diane, Maura, David and Meredith, Beautiful service today! So glad we could be there virtually! Aunt Maryanne and Uncle David will forever be in our hearts and minds. Thank you for sharing our memories! Love you all and miss you! Karen Danforth
