My condolences to you all.
Mary Jane was the first person to welcome me to Walworth. She has been a wonderful neighbor and friend for nearly 60 years.
I will miss working with her at the Walworth Museum and sharing our many chats and laughs.
God speed my friend.

I remember Mary Jane from years on the NY School Nutrition board. She was a wonderful leader and easy person to work with.
May your memories bring you comfort.
Marcia & I go way back with so many fond memories with Mary Jane. Holland Am. Club, Hawaii trip and most recently the Marion Historic Association.
Sending our thoughts & prayers!
Mary Jane left many people with fond memories. She cherished her family and was active in local organizations. If asked to travel or go out to dinner the answer was always “Yes”. My condolences to family and friends.
Mary Jane was such a special lady…she had a big heart, always willing to volunteer! I served on the Walworth Historical Society Board with her for many years. Condolences to all the family…she will be missed!
