In her younger years, she enjoyed hunting and camping. She loved singing and was a member of St. Patrick’s Church where she sang in the choir. 

Her grandchildren were her pride and joy. She loved baking cookies, watching movies with them and having sleepovers when they were young. She spoiled them every chance she had. As they grew older, she supported them in every possible aspect of life and was very proud of all the accomplishments, big and small. Mary Jane enjoyed cooking and baking and sharing her favorite recipes. Mary Jane’s kindness, warmth, and devotion to her family and friends will be remembered always.
