    The flower exhibit at the fair will be vastly different this year without Maria. She was a wonderful mentor to many of the other exhibitors.

    Maria and I became acquainted at our quilt guild, Hayes Ohio Star Quilt Guild, She was so friendly and always a joy to talk with — and so creative,- giving us interesting quilting and sewing challenges. She will be missed.

    To Maria’s family,
    I am so sorry for you loss. Maria was a wonderful person and a good friend. I will never be able to garden at home or walk into the fairgrounds without thinking of her. I am sure she is up in heaven looking down on us. I will miss her.

    Dear Norton Family:
    Maria and I were good friends in grade school and continued our friendship long after college through letters and occasional calls. She was always kind and cared deeply about others. I will remember her always for her love of family and faith, and wish each of you peace during this time of sadness. May God’s perpetual light shine upon her.
