A wonderful memorial donation in memory of our sweet Mary Ann. 🩷

❤️ A love of reading is a gift that keeps unfolding.

Our heartfelt thanks to the family of Mary Ann Hansmeier for choosing Dolly Parton's Imagination Library of Keith County as a memorial designation in her honor. 90 Keith County children will receive one book a month for a whole year.

"Mary Ann Hansmeier had a lifelong love of reading. She especially loved reading to children and did so whenever she could. She could often be found looking for books to give her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

She was very interested in the Dolly Parton Imagination Library and was very supportive of it. She would be happy to know part of her memorial went to support it."
