My sincere condolences to Dave, her family, and friends.

I was very saddened to hear of her death. I worked with Maryann in the Nuclear Fuels Department before she retired. I could always count on her. She was so organized and dependable.

May the sweet memories of her carry you through this difficult time.

My deepest condolences to Maryann's family and friends. I first met Maryann when she was my 5th grade teacher at Our Lady Help of Christians grade school where she was known at Miss Maryann. I found it difficult to just call her Maryann when she started working at PP&L!! She was always Miss Maryann to me. RIP Maryann!
