She is survived by her husband, Paul; one daughter, Alyson Scheuerle of Mitchell; one brother, Jerry Baldwin of Modesto, CA; and two sisters, Linda Welter of Camden, TN, and Rosalie Krizan of LA. She was preceded in death by her parents.
I send my sympathy to the family.
So sorry to hear of your loss. MaryAnn was an amazing person with a heart for God and people of all kind. I was fortunate to have her as an teacher as did my daughters and was also fortunate enough to be a colleague. She was truly a gift from God and I am blessed for knowing her. May God bring you comfort in this time and know that she was beloved by many. Peace and comfort to you both.
I had the pleasure and joy of meeting our darling friend MaryAnn in the summer of 2001. For the next 5 (I think) summers I enjoyed my time with her and Paul at the International Music Camp. MaryAnn looked so much like my own beloved mother, it is very hard to think of her passing. She was such a beautiful person with a heart full of love for all. My favorite memories are of laughing with her and driving to Boissevain to go shopping. What a wonderful woman!
I will always treasure the memories of time spent with MaryAnn and Paul at IMC. MaryAnn was a wonderful person who made everyone feel important and included. She had the best laugh, and we heard it often. She loved you both very much. May you find comfort and peace in knowing that. You are in my prayers.

I loved working at IMC with Paul, and I especially loved getting to know MaryAnn. The picture above really shows her heart shining through her smile - I remember MaryAnn's beautiful smile and huge laugh.
I have fond memories of hunting in Canada - especially the VITs.
Wishing you peace and healing.

I have spent the last few days just being thankful for the gift of MaryAnn in my life. She and I taught together at Holy Family Catholic School, and shared many wonderful memories which I will cherish always. I will always treasure the gift of laughter which we shared. I called her this past March when we visited Mitchell, and our conversation was always so easy and full of laughter until we cried with joy! May the angels welcome her, and sing more joyfully because of her presence. Be assured of my prayers for you, Paul and Alyson.
So sorry to hear of the loss of your mother. I know she was a very important part of your life. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this difficult time.
