I worked with Mary Ann at DOTD for many years. She is the person who taught me to eat potato salad in my gumbo. I loved her for that. Mary was always kind, not a mean bone in her body and she was funny and fun to work with not to mention the fact that she was a hard worker. We both came from cajun country roots and we got along very well. I often wondered what had happened to Mary after her best friend passed away. RIP Mary.
