I tried calling the last number I had several times to no avail. I'm saddened to hear this news. We used to talk pretty often. She and Ray were lifelong friends Sadie and Bill Abel, our parents and in-laws. I (Barbara) was always so happy to hear from Mary Jean after Bill died. Please contact us. 205-655-1321.

What a fitting description of an amazing woman. Mary Jean Box was a delightful second Mom to so many of us "girls ". I´ll never forget her funny stories , laughter, and deep love for family and friends.
