Mary Anne was a gentle soul and a shining light to all whose life she touched.  She was a friend to me in 7th grade when I arrived in the US from Australia, throughout high school, at San Jose State University where we both studied, and in our middle years when I found myself,  by pure chance, living only a mile or two from her and her dear family in Encinitas.  My deepest condolences to Mary Anne’s family.

Mary Anne was a wonderful talented artist, colleague, and friend.  She and I joined COAL in 2001 and for over 20 years, we shared an interest in art, teaching art to children, and supporting the COAL organization.  My husband David and I will both miss her.

ELAINE & DAVID SEELEY

You are gone too soon. Your gentle soul, your insightful art, your happiness that you spread, will be dearly missed.

I will remember you.

sincerely
