Mary Jo and I worked together in Derby School System and then after retirement enjoyed being together with her because of mutual friends. Will always remember her smile and she taught us to play Qwirkle. Love and prayers, Sally Hayes

The venue didn't matter. If it was live theater, Mary Jo would gather her friends and we would be off for an evening of fun and fellowship. My deepest condolences to her family, her countless friends, her "little sisters", and the many students whose lives she enriched. She will be greatly missed.

We did not know Mary Jo well, but had the pleasure of being on a trip to New York with her in 2009 and sitting with her when we saw "The Lion King". We also visited with her from time to time at Senior Wednesday. We are sorry to hear of her death. Please accept our deepest sympathy.
