“I am profoundly saddened by the loss of my teacher and mentor, Marylou. She was and will continue to be an inspiration to me as a teacher and a violinist. I am so grateful that I had the chance to learn from such an amazing woman and spirit filled with God's wisdom and love. She was also a wonderful mother and wife and dedicated to her family. I am privileged to have known her.”
—Mariana Green-Hill, Project STEP Artistic Director

“She was the President of Project STEP when I joined the board, and I remember her quiet efficient approach. Her leadership has been a role model for me, and we have all lost a true friend and very effective leader and advocate for our kids.”
—Randall Hiller, Project STEP Board President
“For those who never had the pleasure of meeting and knowing Barbara, you have missed a gentle, compassionate and bright woman who contributed so much to the lives of so many. Although very quiet and soft-spoken, Barbara was a considerable force and long-time supporter of Project STEP.”
—Daniel Palant, Project STEP Board Vice President
“Barbara Maze was President of Project STEP the first year I became a board member, and I admired her intelligent, gracious leadership. Barbara was a true steward of the Project STEP mission, and she was devoted to our students and families. We have lost a special friend and patron.”
—Margaret Williams-DeCelles, Project STEP Board member
