Terri and Kiki, I can’t began to tell you how much Mary Ann meant to me. She made such a difference in my life. She was the friend you could talk to about anything. I have such wonderful memories of her. I still smile when I think about our senior year and that railroad trestle. If it hadn’t been for her I don’t think I would have married Charlie. We are still together after 58 years.
We were so excited when we found out our granddaughter’s knew each other. We are so happy that Kiki and Meg are roommates this year. Our sweet Mary Ann is loved by so many.
She will forever live in my heart. I’m a better person for knowing her. We will be together again!! My heart and prayers go out to your family!!

Even when death is expected, it is so very unexpected when it finally comes. I am a classmate of Mary Ann's, graduated with her in 1957 from Newport High School. She was and remains one of my dear, good friends. I am so thankful that I was able to stop and visit with her at the hospice on July 22nd on my way back to Newport from Texas. I got to tell her goodbye and that I loved her. She told me on that visit that she was going home that weekend. I thought it just talk but was, and now not even a month later, she has truly gone HOME. Give rest, O Christ, to Mary Ann with all thy saints where sorrow and pain are no more, neither sighing, but life everlasting.

Mary Ann Compton McFadden Frizzell was a kind and gentle soul. We managed to stay in touch since we were in school together in Newport, Arkansas - more than 60 years. Each time I saw her, it was like we had never been apart. I’m so glad I had the opportunity to visit with her overnight last year. I will miss her loving friendship. I am certain she made this world a better place because she was in it. Seeing her was always special.
