I'm so sorry to learn of Maryann's death. I remember Maryann as a wonderful mother to Matt, from Matt's kindergarten days at Littlewood to his band years at Buchholz. Maryann was also always friendly and easy to talk with, and I always enjoyed running into her around town and at band events. Thinking of all of you, Sara Kirk
Maryann was a great friend, and the smile on her photo displayed here, along with her laughter, are just two of the most outstanding things I will remember. I have enjoyed our monthly potlucks and game nights and all the laughter. One night I remember in particular is when we noticed Wes displaying characterisitcs of OCD, as he kept straightening the tiles in the game we were playing. Toward the end of the game, you looked across the table at me and just flung those tiles across the table. Thememory of the laughter that ensued will live on forever in my mind. You came to me vividly in a dream last night (07/30/15). I walked into a store, saw you and said hello. You looked surprised that I could see you,as no one else could. You told me you missed everyone but it is so much better up there. Though I miss you, and will, you telling me that gave me some kind of solice in knowing you will be waiting up there for the rest of us and will have all the games ready. Our get-togethers will never be the same, but we will continue them in memory of you. So for now, feel my spirtual hug until I see you again. Much love - Melody Trapani
It is truly sad to lose someone so sweet and caring, so early in their life... she always was one to live honestly and treat people with kindness... I feel deep sadness knowing she is no longer with us and I send much love to her family as they mourn her and deal with the untimely loss of this gentle woman known to us as; Maryann.
We remember Maryann fondly from past family gatherings and the many occasions when we crossed paths in NW Gainesville during our afternoon walks, coinciding with Maryann's returning home after work. She brightened our lives with her cheerful and optimistic approach to life. May God grant her eternal peace and comfort and consolation to her loved ones. Vin & Colleen Legare
My heartfelt condolences to the Taylor family. MaryAnn worked at the VA where I knew her for many years; most recently I occasionally chatted with her at the health club the last couple of years catching up on Mathew and work (she was diligent about exercising!). She visited me at North Florida when my first child was born nearly 24 years ago which I still remember. I have the most fond memories of MaryAnn, a lovely person, and am saddened about her passing.

Dear Sister, I enjoyed this last year as we shared so many times together. Your retirement allowed us to spend more time together and I will always cherish those times and the talks we shared. Cribbage and ancestry hunts will never be the same. Thank you for letting me say goodbye.
