Mariann would later become a CNA and Medical Secretary caring for many patients at Danbury Hospital. She loved watching her favorite soap opera General Hospital and she loved to cook for her family. Her grandchildren have great memories of their “Meme” lovingly baking them banana bread. Her beautiful grandchildren were her pride and joy, Noah, Elijah and Stella Berg of Brookfield.
