Our Scrabble Queen, lover of books, pontoon lounger, lucky slot machiner, baker of lemon bars, eager North Shore visitor, rapt listener and harmonizer of old time country music. She was a fast-fingered medical transcriptionist who never shied away from email, instagram, Facebook, FaceTime and texting. Family was incredibly important to her and her love and support will be greatly missed. We will miss you, Mom, with all of our hearts and strive to make you proud. Our family circle has grown smaller but tighter. Thank you, Maryanne, for all you have done for us.
