Mary is and always has been a wonderful part of my life. I have memories of camping, picnics in the back yard in Ct, movie nights with the kids and generally good thoughts when I think of her. To Jen, i am so sorry for your loss. You were always the center of her life. Please know you are in my prayers.

Condolence From Ted & Hilda Theriault

The day of my wedding, I had some jitters. I wasn't nervous about getting married, just really emotional. Somehow everyone had disappeared, except for Mary Jane. She was there, and asked me if I wanted to get a drink to calm my nerves. So we set out in search of a hotel bar that was open before 5pm. We didn't find one, but Mary's calm, reassuring nature was much better than a drink. Just spending time with her made me feel better. Her peaceful, reassuring nature set the tone for the rest of my day, and I will never forget it.

My thoughts and prayers go out to Jennifer and all of Mrs. Theriault's family. She was always a bright presence at LCC. Whenever I would run into her, she always had that beautiful smile. She was a very great lady. I will miss her very much. Karin (Healing) Hope

Story shared: "Oh sure"

Once, of many times, I went to visit Uncle Bill and Mary without calling ahead. It was blazing hot, as it always seems to be in South Carolina. I pulled into the driveway and put the car in park, to the side and behind Mary’s car. The side storm door was wide-open. I left my car running and had my cellphone in hand because the house door was wide-open (you knew it before you saw it because the sound of the tv blaring out into the yard). I slowly approached the door, and sure enough, the inside door was wide-open, the lights were all on inside (even though it was mid morning). Neither Mary nor Uncle Bill was visible in their recliner chairs or the kitchen. Lucky wasn’t barking. I called out “Mary! Uncle Bill!” No answer. I stepped a few steps into the door, fingers on the keypad of my phone, “Mary! Uncle Bill!” I had called out loud enough to be heard upstairs, and still no Lucky barking. My skin crawled off my body as I backed out of the house. I couldn’t know what had happened. I peeked over the fence into the backyard (Uncle Bill would have loved to tease me like that, and Mary would have loved to go along with it) and they weren’t there. I grabbed the fence for support, with all these details there was only one thing that could have happened, a medical emergency and an ambulance and they were at some hospital for one of them. Who would I call? I went back into the house and shut off the tv, lights and shut the doors on my way out. I knew I’d need a minute to think of what to do next. I stepped onto the driveway, and nearly got run over as Uncle Bill whizzed past me to park the (old) car on the grass. Uncle Bill got out of the driver’s seat and walked into the house with barely a hello. Lucky remained in the shot gun seat looking out the window. Mary got out of the back seat. “Oh you’re here.” She greeted me cheerily as she opened the door to let Lucky out. “What do you mean, oh you’re here? You scared the daylights out of me.” “Why? Dad just wanted to try driving one more time so we all got in the car and went for a ride.” I went into the house, behind Mary, and dropped on the couch to catch my breath. Mary looked at me and said; “I suppose now that I look at it from your perspective, it would be a little scary.” “A little scary? Did you drive around the subdivision?” As light as a breeze she responded. “Oh no we went a way down Laurens Road (a busy 4 lane road) till Dad said he’d had enough and turned around and came back.) “I suppose he turned around in the middle of the road and didn’t wait for an intersection or anything.” “Oh sure” Mary said and she was up to let Lucky out in the yard. And that’s adventurous, when you get in the back seat of an old unreliable car with your dad (90 years old and hadn’t driven in a few years ) and go for a ride down a busy road – as Mary said; “Oh sure.”

I am so saddened to hear of Mary's passing. She was a large part of my childhood, as Jennifer and I were inseparable for many years growing up in Lordship. Mary was my "second mother" at times and was always willing to open her home and heart to me. One great memory I have is when she took Jen and I to the roller skating rink and someone stole my shoes. She took us right out to Bradlees and bought me a new pair of sneakers - the kind with 3 different colored sparkly laces - they were the coolest things ever! She will be missed. My thoughts and prayers go out for the entire family during this difficult time.

I met Mary Jane in 2005 when I was visiting from Poland. She and Beth immediately made me feel at home and we had the best car drive ever cracking jokes and just having fun. Even after I got home, she and I would keep in touch. This year will be the first time I will not send her a Christmas card in eight years, but I know I will always treasure the memories of her radiant smile and personality. Jennifer and family- you are in our prayers. Michal Curylo and family from Poland

Aunt Mary Jane had one of the sweetest and kindest souls that I've ever been lucky enough to know. I'll never forget her joyful laugh and warm smile. She was a wonderful, beautiful person, with an even more amazing and equally matching heart of gold. I will forever hold dear the stories she told and memories we shared. She was always a part of my life and celebrated some of the most important moments of mine, including my wedding day. I know she's with some very special people in heaven, including my Papa Bania. I will love you always and send my heartfelt condolences to Jennifer and family. Love always, Marian, Nick and Ethan

Mary was more than my sister-in-law. She was my friend. We shared being married, being pregnant, raising our children and then the issues of later years. For over 40 years she was part of my life and I will miss her always. Jennifer you must be so proud of the loving, warm, compassionate and funny woman who was your mother.

Mary it hurts to the core to write on this page, about you. You have touched so many lives and left so many happy, loving, wonderful memories. You are already missed, many times a day when I think; I have to remember to tell Mary, I have to call Mary and tell her... Jennifer - our hearts are broken wide open for you with love, compassion and pride. God bless girl, you had an incredible Mother - and she's not gone, she'll never be gone from our memories.
