My sympathies to Mary Ann and her children and grandchildren. I remember babysitting for the boys – and how happy the neighborhood was when baby #3 was a girl!
When it comes being a great neighbor to the Eckerts, Mary Ann was tops! Hid. Less all of you. May she rest in everlasting joy!

I’m so sorry Donna and Alan. Heard you left FL early due to your Mother’s illness. Did not think she would pass so fast. May she RIP.
Emily,
My deepest sympathy for you and your family. So sorry for your loss .
Always in your heart. I am sure you have many good memories. And will be a comfort
for you.
God Bless

Mary Ann was a dear friend from NDHS days. We both lived on Milentz Avenue in south St Louis. Her family had moved there from Sts Peter and Paul parish neighborhood. We were part of a group of special friends during those years.
She and I connected periodically in the years after graduation. My regret is not having stayed in touch with her over these many years.
My prayers and sympathy are with the family. The photo captures the beauty of her inner person.
Mary Ann Hannauer Schwartz was one of the Best Friends a young school girl could have. I met her when we were freshmen students at Notre Dame High School in South St. Louis. Since we were all from different grade schools, we had to make new friends. Her empathy and inclusion of others was exceptional: you always felt welcome in her presence. She is everyone’s friend. We all miss Mary Ann, “Our Good Friend.”
