It was a joy to know Mary Ann and to spend time with her each year in Emerald Lake in Florida. We had lots of good times together, and she will be missed terribly this year and in those to come. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you there. Love, Sandy & Jim
I have so many fond and happy memories of times spent with Aunt Maryann. Also a smile and funny quip. She will be so very much missed. You all are in my thoughts and prayers. I wish I was stateside to attend the service but please know I am there in spirit. ~Ann Louise
To the Whole Timoteo Family: We have lost a good mother, grandmother, sister, and for me a best friend whom I shall never forget. Maryann and I lost our husbands within months of each other. She was my rock and she encouraged me to go on with my life in Florida by telling me how to go on the plane alone, how to plan the trip, etc. We continued to have little hen parties together and accompany each other to campground events. I used to call them dates for fun. She had a dry sense of humor and was fun to be with. When she took sick I was devastated. I will miss her terribly as well as all of you will. I'm glad she is at peace and with our Lord. Maryann and Dick, You're together now!!
Our deepest sympathies.
Sharon, I am very sorry to learn of your mother's passing. May she rest in peace.
