In addition to her family, Mary had a variety of passions. She enjoyed golfing and was known for her cooking, often preparing meals for her loved ones. Mary Jane and Hank enjoyed many good times golfing and socializing over the years as members of Bogey Hills Country Club. Travel was another joy; she cherished vacationing with friends, particularly in Cancun, where she made lasting memories.

An accomplished ice skater in her youth, Mary showcased her talents at the young age of three alongside her father and even garnered an Olympic sponsor. Throughout her life, she exhibited remarkable strength and determination, leaving a lasting impression on all who had the pleasure of knowing her.

Mary Jane's heart was vast, filled to the brim with love and kindness. Those who crossed paths with her would undoubtedly agree that she was one of the sweetest individuals they had ever encountered. Her legacy will be remembered fondly by her family, friends, and community.
