Mary Jane loved flowers and was an avid gardener, she loved to play bridge, she loved going to church, and she loved spending time at the family lake cottage in northern Minnesota. But most of all she enjoyed being the center of a large, and loving family of whom she was very proud. She will be profoundly missed.
