Dedicated to family and community, Mary Anne was a member of the Home and School Association and served as its president for several years when her children attended St. Tim’s. During her professional life and in retirement, Mary Anne was quick to draft legal documents for friends and family. She kept in touch by phone and was always ready to share dramatic stories and exchange confidences. She was fortified by her dear friends.
