She grew up on a dairy farm in Salem Derby, Vermont and continued farming into her adult life. After graduating from North Country High School, Newport in 1976, she worked on multiple farms and later, owned a farm in Lowell, VT. Farming was a true passion and considered her work more of a joy and hobby. She had a special love for all animals, loved her pets deeply, naming each one, taking in many strays over the years.

 She was most happy surrounded by her family, friends, and pets and enjoyed being Memere (Grandmother) and greeted family and friends with open arms when they visited. She always made time for Sunday dinners at her mother's, to enjoy the special times with her siblings and loved ones. She was a great baker of desserts, which everyone enjoyed.

Mary Jane raised two amazing, loving, and caring sons, with whom she had a special relationship and loved dearly. She was truly a wonderful mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, cousin, and friends. She left her family with unforgettable memories and will be deeply missed.
