She graduated from Coconut Creek
High School in 1978.  She worked for Country Financial for 33
years as a lead worker, passing many insurance tests.

MaryAnne was a very active member
of St. Mary's Catholic Church in Bloomington.  She shared the
teachings of Jesus for more than 10 years, teaching children faith
formation.  After 'retiring' from her classroom duties this
past May, she continued to home school several students.  She
was a true believer in the works of Our Lord, Jesus Christ, living
her life daily walking in His footsteps.  MaryAnne was a
dedicated woman who gave honest service, sacrifice, love and
courage to all with exceptional grace and beauty.  She gave of
herself every chance that she could, especially when it came to the
numerous children who affectionately call her Grammy.
MaryAnne had a true passion for children, especially Gage Nelson
and the Nelson girls, accepting into her life all who needed her
love and guidance.  She was well known for her homemade
blankets, dresses, all things crafty and her
fund-raising.

We will remember MaryAnne for her
endless positive energy, her contagious smile and her unconditional
love for all.  She was a devoted woman, even sharing her
wisdom with us in her final words with family.  She shared
(verbally and with sign) it was time for her to go home and even if
she was dying, we all need to keep on living and don't
worry.  Now she walks with Jesus.
