My deepest condolences to Mary Anne's family. Mary Anne was my Supervisor at IPS for 12 years. She was always there if there were any problems and listened with a very kind ear. She also had a very good heart and sense of humor. She will be missed by many.

My heartfelt sympathies to the family. I met your mother only three or four times but new your dad verry well. As an undergraduate I worked for him on the student work program. He was my mentor and has been role model through out my life. The love he expressed for his children and for Mary Anne was limitless. We would correspond long after I graduated from Loyola. In fact, he attended my family celebration when I got my masters degress in the 80's. Your mom wrote my such a kind note when your dad died. We had a few conversations about him and through those conversations I got to see what a wonderful, compassionate, and loving spirit Mary Anne had. They were both exceptional people; the world is a sadder place with both of them gone but heaven must be brighter with laughter. Even though I never met "the children", I feel that I have known you since you were tots. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

My heartfelt condolences to her near and dear ones... and to IPS. She had such a welcoming and helping attitude. Without her IPS would be poorer.RIP.

I had the privilege to know MaryAnne
since 1990...like George whom she now joins, she was a woman of "great size." Her heart knew no limits for faculty and students of IPS. We continue to carry her legacy of compassionate hospitality and humor to the ends of the earth as we attempt to replicate that same care for those we serve.

My deepest sympathy for the loss of a beautiful woman. Mary Anne greeted me with a smile and a kind word each day I attended Loyola. I will remember her gentleness.
