The Hinsdales of Westchester were cousins of the Walsh’s and enjoyed visiting them in Hillside when we were young. The Walsh’s mother, Mary Kelly Walsh and our mom, Janice Gorman Hinsdale were first cousins. We send our heartfelt condolences to Dave, Mike, and Johnny on Mary Anne’s passing. She came to visit Janice in the nursing home at the IHM Motherhouse in Monroe, MI and joined us at several Hinsdale functions these past years. We know you will miss her terribly, as will we! Love and prayers, your Hinsdale cousins!
Mary Anne was a lovely woman who was always giving to others. May she rest in peace.
