I knew Mary Anne since we were in First/Second grade at St. Xavier Academy in Chicago. We attended most of our grades together, even McAuley and Chicago Teachers College. On the fun things in life, we attended many dances, joined Teen Club, shared boyfriends, retold the "truth", watched the confessions as priests, and joined Kathy for support whenever needed. She had a great laugh whenever there was a need on occasions. She would share automobiles from the McCormick family when there a need. She played the guitar and sang whenever a party call for guests to make the parties more fun. I couldn't go to our high school's reunion. She was part of a group that was usually all together. Sorry to the Sacramento family and her husband Joe, her main support. Looking back to fun times and lots of great memories. Charlene Wagner

This is so difficult. Mary Anne and I were very close as kids and as adults. We shared so much throughout the years.

First of all, we were considered "Irish Twins". This means we were 11 months apart! We always shared a bedroom, no matter where we lived. The best part of this was sharing our dreams, secrets, and stories, especially ghost stories. These were her favorite. We also shared clothes, shoes, make up, etc. When we had ups and downs, we'd turn to each other. We always had the same group of friends and went to the same schools. We even shared boyfriends once in a while! Of course, we had our fair share of arguments, usually about clothes or whose turn it was to do dishes.

As adults, we were in each other's weddings. We were there for each other when we had our children and grandchildren. We've spent all special occasions and holidays together. My husband, Mike, quickly became friends with Joe. So the togetherness stayed.

Mary Anne was a free spirit, a unique person. She was an artist and had that eccentric personality. I know she's perfectly happy now, I love her and will miss her always! She was a great sister!
