We mourn the passing of our dear sister and Officer Librarian Maurie Hartshorn

on Jan 14, 2026. She battled cancer for many years and was surrounded by friends and family in her final days. We remember her as witty, funny, vivacious, energetic and courageous. We will miss her! Her memorial is planned for the coming month. Please send condolences to her daughter, Savannah Hartshorn and her best friend, Karen Lyon at 2234 Riverside Ave, Jacksonville, Fl 32204.
