I had the great pleasure of working with Mari Beth and also getting to spend time with her in person, in Charlotte (in October last year). Her fighting spirit and passion for her job and the people she cared about was contagious. My deepest condolences to her family and all the friends she cared about and loved and who loved her equally right back. She will be forever remembered and in my heart.

We called her "MB" at the office in Sioux Falls SD. She sat near the front door and greeted everyone. She ran the Bank, let's be honest. My desk was nearest her workspace and we talked regularly. I loved her laugh the most. We miss you MB. Godspeed my friend.
