Mary Mastel Obituary

Mary Ann and I lived near eachother in Highland Park and we both entered Vis together. I also have not kept in touch being abroad for so many years but my heart goes out to Mary Ann's family. God bless

Mary Anne brought so much joy and laughter to Park Health and Rehab the last few months. She made everyone around her feel special. Hopefully her positive attitude rubbed off on all of us. I was so happy to reconnect with her after not seeing her since our kids left grade school. I will miss her dearly.

Mary Ann was my classmate at Visitation.We didn't keep in touch but I always had fond memories of her. I was so sorry to hear about her health problems.I was talking with another classmate the week before she died. We were making plans to visit her. I wish I could of spent some time with her. I can't imagine how difficult it is to lose a child at any age. I know Mary Ann will be missed by her family and friends. MAY GOD COMFORT YOU WITH MEMORIES. We can never be separated from those we love, because God leaves us with memories to hold and love, that doesn't pass away.My deepest condolences are with you as you grieve.

The good thing about a high school class of 45 is that you know each other pretty well whether you are "best friends" or not. The Highland Parkers were often smashed into someone's station wagon en route to a party or mixer, the bonds are forged despite the years since graduation much less the last reunion. It's probably been decades since I've seen Mary Anne, but,I'm sure the humor and individualism she had in high school prevailed throughout the rest of her life. My deepest sympathies to her family.

Great memories of Mary Anne and myself in high school. Many laughs and fun times. I am so happy to have seen you recently, to share more laughs and memories, together. You will be missed. I love you, Sheila.

I graduated from the Normandale dental hygiene program with Mary Anne. I enjoyed having her as a classmate so very much. She was so much fun, and a little radical. She also filled in at my old dental office in Hopkins. I recently changed jobs and was thinking of calling her. I am so sorry to hear of her death. She was such a genuine person, and I loved having her as a classmate. We used to get together and study for tests with Gary Samp, and we did well. She helped me in the past when I was going through some difficult times. Her faith inspired me. I want her children and family to know that she was a beam of sunshine in my life. I am so sorry that you had to lose her so young. Roxanne

I am so saddened by the news. I have known Mary Anne for a long long time. We met in 1975 after graduating from Dental Hygiene school through mutual friend of ours, Pam Rober. I always enjoyed myself around Mary Anne. What a great personality and fiery spirit. My condolences to the entire family and especially to her children. Mary Anne will be missed by so many. She touched my life and made it better.
