MaryLee worked for 35 years caring for persons with Developmental and Intellectual Disabilities. Spending time with her family was her greatest pleasure. She loved children and often said, “The greatest sound in the world is your child’s laughter.” MaryLee’s eyes beamed with happiness and her smile widened with each addition to her very large family. She wasn’t just motherly to her family but to many people that had the honor of knowing her. People describe MaryLee as beautiful, amazing, wise, patient, caring, loving, hard-working, supportive, tender, gentle, honest, funny, responsible, selfless and giving.
