Mary Jane moved many times with her husband, following his career in Celina or Van Wert, and later to White Lake, Michigan.  In the Spring of 2005, they returned home to Celina.

Mary Jane is survived by her children: Leah (Don) Mattise of Clarkston, Michigan, Lisa Burnand of Cicero, Indiana and Spencer (Leslie) Wint of Burton, Michigan, and was the loving grandmother to her late granddaughter, Allison Burnand, and surviving grandchildren: Marissa (Dylan) Burnand Buchanan, Daniel Mattise, Dustin (Nicole) Mattise and Rylee Burnand, as well as great grandchildren: Emerson Burnand, Dakota Buchanan and Freydis Buchanan.

She was a 1963 graduate of I.C. High School in Celina.  Mary Jane was a homemaker, had worked as a newspaper ad agent, physical therapy aide, and retail assistant, and volunteered at her children’s schools.  She was a member of Immaculate Conception Catholic Church.

Mary Jane was an avid reader and walker.  She loved laughing, singing, and spending time with her sisters and brothers, especially playing cards and traveling.  Creating moments with her grandchildren filled Mary Jane's heart abundantly with pure joy.
