Henry, Mary Jane
Appleton

Rejoice with her loved ones! Mary Jane is in Heaven!

Mary Jane Henry, beloved wife and mother, age 59, of Appleton, Wisconsin; Campbelltown and Phoenixville, Pennsylvania; Apple Valley, Minnesota and Pleasanton, California, went to Heaven on Wednesday, June 1, 2005, after a courageous battle with ovarian cancer.

Mary Jane was born in Hershey, Pennsylvania to Elizabeth “Betty” and Earl Gilmore, longtime Campbelltown residents. She graduated from Palmyra High School in 1963. She and Paul were married on July 31, 1974, after being friends for many years. They shared 31 wonderful years together with their sons, Stephen and Jeffrey, and their daughter-in-law Jenny and daughter-in-law to be Ellie, who filled Mary Jane’s life with love, admiration, and joy. Mary Jane was preceded in death by her father, Earl Gilmore and her brother, Larry Gilmore. She is survived by her mom, Betty Gilmore, now of Palmyra, Penn., and her devoted sister, Nancy Bauer, of Glenmore, her sister’s family and a wonderful extended family of loving relatives.

Mary Jane was an avid servant of her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, a gifted gardener and a loyal San Francisco 49er’s fan.

A memorial service celebrating Mary Jane’s life will be held at 2:30 p.m. Thursday, June 9, 2005, at Our Saviour’s Lutheran Church, 3009 North Meade Street, Appleton.
