I enjoyed reading about Maryellen and thinking about her once again, and am glad she is at rest with her beloved husband. I worked with her at University College from 1983 until her retirement. I totally credit her with letting us in on what became our favorite Fall vacation lodging from 1992 on: The Cape Ann Motor Inn in Gloucester, MA! She stayed there with, I think, her sister, en route to see her son in Maine, and learned they welcome dogs in their rooms and on their beach! At an amazingly reasonable price!
She was truly the embodiment of a great "co-worker," a team player as needed and a dependable source of knowledge and good cheer. Several years after she retired, more than once someone said to me, Oh, Maryellen knows that...Maryellen takes care of that. And we'd look at each other with an Oohh...expression!
Thank you for sharing her life details, and for accompanying her to the end of her earthly days!
