As a beginning teacher I had the privilege of having Mary Ann as a colleague. It was clear she was a very dedicated teacher, but what stood out even more - and what has stayed with me throughout my career - was her deep belief in Catholic Education. I hope I can continue to carry a flicker of her spark by sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ with the people of God each and every day. Mary Ann, I have no doubt the crown of glory awaits you!
I had the privilege of me meeting Mrs. Figura as principal when I moved my son to OLPH. I had the wonderful privilege of working with her as a volunteer with PTA and marketing. Her love of the children and the school was felt everywhere she went and everyone she interacted with. She was the heart of the school.
I had the wonderful privilege of working with Mary Ann on our faculty at OLPH School for eight years. She was a superb teacher who loved her children. Dedicated, professional, loving, gentle, a woman of deep faith are just a few of the sterling qualities Mary Ann generously shared with those who were fortunate to know her. Mike, know that I am holding you and your family in my prayers at this sad time of grieving such a deep loss. S. Mary Beth Hamm, SSJ
For nearly 50 years, Mary Ann has been a close and dear friend. We met when our back yards joined and, over the years, we shared so many happy events together. To say she was a good and kind person would be an understatement. She truly was a devout woman, in my eyes, a saint here on earth. When I heard of her passing, I was devastated. My thoughts and prayers are for Mike, their kids and grandkids. Mary Ann is now in Heaven - I hope she gets to say "hi" to Dale.
Mary Ann and I first met at OLPH many years ago. We shared many ministries at Saint Charles Borromeo through these last 28 years. She is a kind, gentle and faith based woman who will continue to be an inspiration to those who were blessed to know her. Rest in the arms of God, dear friend. We will miss you.
As Catholic school principals in Burlington County, Mary Ann and I worked together and enjoyed a special friendship. She loved working with and guiding students and respected her faculty and staff. She shared her inner beauty with all who knew her. She was devoted to her husband and deeply loved her children and grandchildren. A beautiful lady is fondly remembered. God's blessings, Mary Ann.
