Maryann is 'Grandma Stokes' to us. We were neighbors for 4 years a couple decades ago. We have never known a sweeter and more Christlike angel. She was kind, loving, and welcoming to us foreigners. Oh, how we will always cherish the time we spent as neighbors! We love you, Grandma!

What a sweet sweet lady. She will be greatly missed. Aunt Mary was my Avon rep when I sold Avon back in the early 1990's. My 2 sons loved to go with me to visit with her and her late husband, Harold. Loved them and miss them both.
I only met your Mom once or twice when I came by your house to walk to school with you Helen, and I know she was a kind and sweet lady. Prayers to you and your family on the loss of your Mother.
What a precious woman Aunt Mary was! She was our Mom's running buddy, best friend and confidant. Aunt Mary always showed us love and made us feel special. She has been a great inspiration during all that she has been through the past several years. What a strong, determined woman. :) She will be missed and always, fondly remembered.

RIP Grandma
