Very sad to hear of Maryann’s passing. I worked with her for many years at the hospital. Her time to shine was in Pediatrics. She loved all those kids like her own and was very attentive to the anxious parents. Praying for peace and comfort during this difficult time. Sincerely, Rhonda Steigerwald
What a character! We had so much fun walking up and down Liberty St. at night. Then setting in the park watching people. She was a gem. A treasure for sure.
