She was funny, warm, caring, kind — everything you want out of a friend. She will be missed by many.
Memories are a gift from God that not even death can destroy, and everyone who ever met Maryann has some very good memories. She will be missed by all.
She was a true friend, always cheering you on while she was running down the hall on her way to her next adventure. She loved life and enjoyed every day to its fullest! Loved her family above all else! We shared many moments of just what it’s means to be a Marine Wife as we would agree we have “been there and done that” as no one else can.
She always greeted you with a smile, and was always ready to do what she could to make you feel welcomed. She was a very dependable friend who always gave 100% to every thing she put her mind and heart too. She was always ready and willing spoke about her family and always wanted to know how your family an friends were doing. She is so missed. God bless you Maryann as he has blessed us with your being a part of and touching our lives.
Please accept my heartfelt sympathies for your loss. My thoughts are with you and your family during this difficult time As you grieve know that we are remembering you and honoring the memory of MaryAnn she was a great person and lived life to its fullest.

Words cannot express my sadness. With Deepest Sympathy .

With deepest sympathy and prayers for strenth for all of Maryann’s loving family.
I am very sorry for your loss. Your mom was the nicest, kind person. I can remember back in High School, my mom was taken to the hospital by ambulance so I had no way to get home. Your mom came and picked me up from the hospital and took me home. I do not know very many people that would have done something like that. She was an amazing women
In the very short time we knew her we packed in a lot of fun and wonderful memories. Maryann will forever be in our hearts. Miss you Sis!!
Maryann is one of the nicest people I know. She brightened up everybody’s day. We need more like her. She will always be remembered
as one of the good ones.
Words cannot begin to express our hearts sadness of a great woman of faith, integrity, honest, love, fun, lovable and friend. Our prayers are with the family for comfort, strength and peace.
MaryAnn was truely a nice person. She always made me laugh when she came into my office. I thought of her often after I retired.
Maryann was such a treasure. I have many, many fond memories of her and her laugh. She made the office a brighter place. My heart is heavy with sadness today. May all of you find strength, comfort and peace during this very difficult time. She is missed by many….
Jeff, my deepest sympathies on your loss. You and Mary Ann were always such great neighbors, taking awesome care of me when mom and dad weren’t there, and great friends to me and mom and dad as well. She will be incredibly missed.
My God, Maryann! The first time we met was 32 years ago and you were 9 months pregnant with Shannon. I have been crying since I heard you had gone. There are so many memories that we had together. You were so full of life and I know your spirit will remain to haunt us all. Your family will be lost without you. Do you remember Maggie?? Oh so many memories! Goodbye my friend!
Maryann was a very special person. She had a great sense of humor a big heart and always made me feel like part of the family. I am very fortunate to have known her and will miss her greatly. My thoughts are with you all – Jeff, Shannon, Tricia, Joe, Josh and Colleen.
I meet Mrs. Doran in 2010, when I checked into Marine Corps System Command. She was always eager to assist me with any question that I presented to her. She always greeted me with a smile and it was truly an honor to work with her. She was a wealth of knowledge and will be truly missed. My thoughts and prayers are with the Doran family during a very difficult time.
You will be missed by all that knew you. Maryann was such a nice person who always had a smile on her face. I will miss seeing her out walking and smiling and just stopping by to say hello.
MaryAnn and I worked together as a team through some trying and exciting times as our TITAN company expanded our Marine Corps business at Quantico. As our business grew, I was looking for a seasoned professional who could maintain my schedule, keep me aware of the pulse at work and to deal with some hard core professionals. After interviewing MaryAnn, I knew I had found the right person for the job.
She was very caring, knew the total background on all personnel and was always there to help or assist whenever needed.
Every Morning she would come in and have my calendar and appointments for the day. She also personally handled many items which could have easily ended up on my desk for action. I don’t know whether Clint Eastwood first coined the phrase – MAKE MY DAY – or if MaryAnn did. I had a habit of leaving my cell phone on my desk when I went to meetings. One day I was on my way to the Pentagon, and the Pentagon called to cancel the meeting. MaryAnn dialed my cell phone and then heard the ringing next door at my desk. She was then overheard to mutter rather loudly – MAKE MY DAY. Of course when I returned she made my day.
She was a great professional but a better friend. I have many fond memories of her and she will not be forgotten.
My prayers and sympathy go out to your family.Working with Maryann was a joy never to be forgotten. She had a name that ranked higher than proffessional
Miss you MaryAnn. Blessings to you and your family. May you rest peacefully with the fun folks among the angels in heaven.
Maryann, what an ANGEL you were and still are. Your smile warmed our hearts immensely. You were always there in time of need and were always willing to go the extra mile. Alwas putting everyone else’s needs before your own. You will be missed for sure. What a beautiful lady you were, both inside and out!!
Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” Maryann knew this so well. She was a presence to be reckond with and will be sorely missed. God Bless your family in this time of sadness. My family and I will be praying for you.
Give her eternal rest, O Lord,
and may Your light shine upon her forever.
Receive her soul and present her to God the Most High.
God Please Blessed the Doran family
MaryAnn, you were a wonderful lady. You are going to be missed. By the way, I told “Scotty” hello and he knew exactly who said it.
Jeff and Family…Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. May the Lord surround you with His arms of Comfort and Peace!
Hi Tricia, my thoughts and prayers are with you through this difficult time. I hope the wonderful memories you have of your mom will bring you some peace as she will always be with you in spirit. Peace and Blessing. Kimya Ginyard, General Services Administration.
Although I did not know Maryann personally, my heartfelt prayers and sympathy go out to her loving family. May she rest in peace in the loving arms of our Lord.

Patricia,
May God be with you and your family during this time of loss. God bless you all.
I want to express my sympathies on the loss of Mary Ann. A nice woman with a sense of humor. I remember years ago her wanting to know if our meetings were going to be over soon, because she had to go to the commissary. You had to be there to understand this was funny, her timing, and the way she said it. I was envious, because I had to wait before I could leave.
I will send up prayers for Mary Ann and her family.
I am so sorry for your loss,my prayers are with you and your family
Thank you God for giving me such a beautiful friend who made me laugh everyday. I will miss you so much… My prayers and love to Jeff and the family forever.
To the Doran Family: We will deeply miss MaryAnn as she was the bright spot in our day. I am still at a lost for words because I don’t want to really believe that she has left us. I am still totally in shock and numb.
Regards,
Quinton B. Knox

May the road rise to meet you,

May the rains fall soft upon your fields,
And, until we meet again,
May God hold you in the hollow of His hand.
Maryann was genuinely one of the nicest people I met in years. Her smile and laugh were always present and very infectious. She always appeared to be working way harder than everybody else and she was, but a closer look would reveal her real secret weapon – working smarter. She will be deeply missed. Maryann, I will think about you every time I walk into a Stein Mart. God bless you and the entire Moran family.
To Tricia and the Doran Family –
My thoughts and prayers are with you. May your hearts be wrapped in the peace and comfort you need during this time. God Bless, Nicole Bailey (GSA)
Tricia my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this difficult time, I will continue to pray that the Lord will give you and your family the peace and the strength you need.
Thankyou for the wonderful memories. You were an amazing person. My family is blessed to have known you and we will always cherish the great times we had. Now you have your wings so make sure to fly down and watch over your family!
Memories are a gift from God , I remember her laughter and her smile even if the job was trying at times she would always encourage you to do your best. I enjoyed speaking with her because she enjoyed life to its fullest. the Bible says that in heaven we will be higher than the angels—and the reason is because we will be like Christ. Mary Ann is higher than the Angels because she had that amazing love. Heartfelt Prayers
MaryAnn was a special person. She will be missed. May God comfort and keep the family during this difficult time.
