I met Mary 23 years ago when my 1st child was born. We were not having much success in nursing. I got an appointment to see The Lactation Clinitian. Our visit started with my son and I weeping in frustration. By the end he was fat and full and happy. With a few tips from Mary, I was confident that I could feed my baby .
I believe she wore wings and a halo then. I am sure she wears a jeweled crown now.
So sad to hear of Mary Ann’s passing. She was a wonderful person and nurse. A sweeter,more gentle soul has never existed! She was an angel amongst us! We worked together at St. Joseph’s Hospital Neonatal unit. Her smile will be missed...May she Rest In Peace . Jeanne Berner.🙏
So saddened to read the news of Mary Ann's passing, but we know of her faith and God welcomes her to everlasting life with him. We know she is at peace and happy. Condolences to family members left behind who will miss her dearly. Though I am from St. Patrick's, Lanark and knew most of the Doyle family, I really did not get to know Mary Ann until more recent years when she lived back in her family home. She and Marjorie lived away, and I knew Clarence, Anna and Jim, Jack, Kathy and Tom better. (Tom was in my "catechism" class!) In my mother's later years, when she needed a bit more attention while she was still living at home, Mary Ann was kind enough to be the person who checked on Mom to get her up and going for the day over the course of several weeks. Mom had gotten to know Mary Ann when she returned to the farm and was a regular back at St. Pat's parish. But they especially enjoyed each other on those occasions when she cared for mom. And I got to know Mary Ann better too. What a GEM of a person Mary Ann was! So TINY and quiet and sweet and Irish she was! BUT a HUGE person in caring, compassion and love. One of God's finest. I and the world mourn her loss. Knowing Mary Ann she was ready and died in her home as she would have wanted. And I am sure she was at peace with the Lord and ready to join her predeceased family and friends. May God have mercy on Mary Ann and grant peace and smiles to her family and friends.
Mary was truly a saint among us. She was my first mentor at Children’s Hospital after my graduation from nursing school and we both moved to St. Joes NICU for many years together. She was the best nurse and diagnostician I ever knew. We worked hard together and had fun together! I sure loved and admired this woman 🌹
Mary Ann and I were long time friends and colleagues at St. Joseph Hospital in Milwaukee. We enjoyed working, going out to dinner, and many craft fairs together. The best memory though, is how she was responsible for my husband and I meeting. We will be forever grateful for that introduction as we have been happily married for 28 years. We have been blessed and honored to know Mary Ann. We look forward to seeing her again in heaven. Gail & Paul Peckman
