Sorry to hear of your moms passing. Chuck and I visited about her often and how you could always tell when she was at the baseball game. Fond memories

We did not know Mary Ann, only through stories told by her dear son and daughter in law-, our neighbors and friends in Spencer, Iowa. There is no doubt she was a wonderful mom and grandma. Our sincere condolences to Tom and Beth. May Mary Ann rest in peace.✝️

Bob and Mary Ann's farm was near my parents Sherman and Ellestine's farm located SE of Alexandria. Dad and Mary Ann enjoyed picking on each other. Many laughs! They were good neighbors.
