She enjoyed teaching and loved to travel from coast to coast in the United States and in Canada. Mary Anne was a wonderful teacher with the most beautiful penmanship you have ever seen. If you were lucky enough to have her as a teacher at Christmas she would give her students a brand new book. Mary Ann made every student feel equal and loved. Mary Ann followed many of her students through their lives attending graduations, weddings and the birth of their children. She was a very classy woman with a closet to die for and she wouldn't be caught with a hair out of place or her nails unpainted. People who traveled with her have nothing but wonderful stories to tell. She knew everything about every place she traveled to.
