Although I hadn't seen Aunt Maryann in several years, having moved away for work, I fondly remember growing up with and visiting her and her family often. She was always a loving host and had a feisty spirit similar to her brother, my dad Phonse. Those two were always close and we got the benefit by spending time with her and her "kids". My thoughts and prayers are with all of you and I hope you're all safe and well.

Her zest for life, laughter and fun was such an admirable quality in Aunt Mary Ann. Her spunk and attitude to never give up was always an inspiration to me through my own difficult times. She was tremendously loved and will be greatly missed by many. RIP dear Mary Ann. Love you. Hugs and condolences to all of her family.
