Sandy Phelps wrote a sympathy message

“I worked with Mary Ann at Lucent in the mid-2000s. She was an exceptional sales professional who generously coached me as I grew in my career. I’ll always remember her humor, her unforgettable laugh, and the love she had for her son, Austin, and her family. She taught me much about courage and living with joy. Though it’s been years since she left Atlanta, I will miss her dearly. My thoughts and prayers are with her family.- Sandy Phelps”
