Mary Ann Rich, nee Blitek

My prayers will be with all of you. I met Mary Ann through Cookie and as mentioned by her many friends, we spent a lot of time just sitting on Cookie’s porch or just hanging out at the corner church steps. So many good memories. Mary Ann you will be missed…

Tony and Karlynn, I am so sorry for your loss. I also worked with Mary Ann at MacNeal Hospital. She talked about you all the time. As Elmira said, she loved you both so very much. She was a very sweet lady and I know she will be missed. I am praying for you as you go through this very difficult time.

Mr. Rich I really appreciate you letting me know about the passing of my dear friend Mary Ann. I am praying that God gives you and your daughter the strength that you will both need during this difficult time. I knew her personally from working at MacNeal Hospital together and knew that she was a great wife, and mother and that she loved both of you dearly because and you both were her pride and joy. God needed an angel in heaven and he told her that her work here on earth was done and that it was time to come to her eternal home. I will truly miss my dear friend, though we didn't talk a lot to each other on a daily basis but we stayed in touch with each other.

To the family of Mary Ann and to Eddie. Cookie messaged me today and when I looked up and saw her picture all the memories came flooding back. My butt spent a lot of time on that porch too. I will have to say I loved the time we spent swimming at Cornell park. We loved being number 1 and 2 every Monday Wednesday and Friday ( and when we could sneak in on family day)I may not have seen you in 45 years but I thought of you. Rest In Peace Maryann. I let the links and Cerny's and stahulaks know. Paulina st is thinking of you today.

So sorry for your loss. MaryAnn and I were best friends all through grammar and high school. We drove together when we got our first jobs downtown. We had great fun times especially the hot summer nights we sat out til midnight on our porches just chatting away. This is a great loss for all of us. God will take good care of her!
