Clanton, AL Saturday, July 25, 2015 So very sorry to hear of Mary Janes passing. I enjoyed many days and nights with this wonderful Lady, Deloris and the Holleys.

Your family will be in my thoughts and prayers in the difficult days ahead.Chris and Shantelle Herrington
Burnsville, MS Saturday, July 25, 2015 Mrs. Mary Jane was the most genuine Christian lady we have ever known. She was such a kind, giving lady. Our sweet baby girl who turned one while we lived in Rye, thought the world of Mrs. Mary Jane. Our two year old son also loved her and called her "Mary Jame". She did so much to help us out with our kids so that we could have free time. Every Wednesday night she would come to our house and stay with our young children so that we could both be at church to help with the older kids. She invited everyone she came in contact with to church. We know that she is rejoicing with her Lord and Savior today and is in no more pain. Her family is in our prayers.Heather and Randall Baker
