Praying for peace and strength for the family.
Sending sincere condolences from the Avret and Kraus families. Mary Jane was our longtime neighbor and good friend for many years. We enjoyed square dancing with her and Melvin, we always had so much fun. Sending prayers for peace and comfort. God bless you Mel, Kathy, and Ryan.
Mary Jane was best friends for years. We would work on word jumbles from Post Dispatch each day comparing answers . In the afternoons I would walk to her house and watched Jeopardy. I will really miss my friend and neighbor of many years. I will pray for you Kathy, Melvin, and Ryan to get through this difficult times .
The Audrey Smith Family
Mary Jane was such a sweet person and always a pleasure to be around. She was the mother of one of my best friends, her daughter Kathy Sheehan and I am so sorry to hear of her passing but I have many happy memories of her and her family.
I just learned of Mary Jane’s death. My prayers and fondest memories to Mel, Kathy and their family.
My mom and Mary Jane were close friends through Woerner Elementary School from 1965 to 1974. Our families then kept in touch. We enjoyed Woerner functions and family outings together over many years.
My warmest thoughts for the Dechau family.
