After a courageous battle with cancer, Maryann Stolz died on March 11, 2015 in Carmel, NY at the age of 58. She leaves behind her husband, Edward; her sons, Michael (Ashley) and Matthew (Sarah); and her granddaughter, Tiffany. Maryann was born on July 6, 1956 in Brooklyn, NY, to father Joseph Morreale, who predeceased her and her mother Gloria Morreale of Palm City, FL. She grew up in Somers, NY in a loving family with two sisters and a brother. She graduated from Orange Community college and proudly passed her nursing boards to become a Registered Nurse.

She retired in June of 2011 with a focus on fighting her illness, and spending time with her family.
