Worked with Mary Ann many years ago. Feel very blessed to have known her and her family. She was a Godly woman with which I had great respect and admiration for. She was a great example of a warm , loving, kind human being that was loved by many and will be missed by all that knew her. Regret not getting to see her in her latter years. Pray for comfort for her family in this time of loss.

Ms Mary Ann was one of the first ladies I met when we first started attending Conway's First. She took me under her wings and really was instrumental in my walk with Christ during that time. She was always so kind. Joy and wisdom just flowed from her anytime I had a question. I know you will miss her immensely.
