AFSCME sister, Best Friend and roommate, I will remember your smile, your hearty laugh, and the times we shared. My thought and prays go to the family she loved and friends she inspired.
May Mary Jo's passion, energy and sense of humor live on! Thanks Mary Jo for being such a great friend and source of laughter to my mom for so many years. My thoughts and prayers are with all of her family.
Dearest Mary Jo, Some of my fondest memories while at Mansfield University include you. What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch, we may not understand why you left this earth so soon, or why you left before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, we begin to remember not just that you died, but that you lived. And that your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget. Rest in peace my friend.
Oh, Mary Jo, what an inspiration you have been to so many! Your strength is to be admired and your zest for life never forgotten. You are greatly missed but will live on in my own and many other's memories. God is fortunate to have you.
Mary Jo was a best friend at work to me, as I worked with her at the university, she was an inspiration to all who knew her, she will be missed by all. My condolances to Ben & family!!! sincerly, Helen
Dear friend - how I will miss you; your totally gorgeous womanliness! Fierce and proud, you battled hard and inspire me today and all the days ahead. Save a seat for me at the table, dear - we'll drink a toast to all the grand times we had and all the great folks in our lives. If the value of a life well lived is in the number of people who love and miss you, your life was lived to the very fullest. Love, Margaret
This is a time of extreme loss for family and friends of Mary Jo. I truly hope everyone is able to focus on the thoughts of so many HAPPY times with Mary Jo. She always brought a smile to all of us. We need to keep that memory of her exciting spirit in our hearts always... and then we can smile again and realize how fortunate we were to have had her in our lives.
Mary Jo was such a vibrant person...so full of energy and personality. It was wonderful working with her. I will miss Mary Jo but will not forget her. My condolences to the family.
