Not sure what to say?

I was lucky enough to have Miss Baker as a teacher in 4th & 5th grade at Ingalls. It was probably the only year she taught a split class. She was my favorite teacher & taught me so much. Kelli (Henegen) Allen

To the Family
Miss Baker was the best teacher. I had her 5th grade in Ingalls. Another friend and I had visited a few yrs ago and she was tickled that I still had my report card. We then had lunch with her last year. We just loved her so much. I am so glad that I reconnected with her at the Ingalls Alumni reunion in 2011 and got to see her several before her passing. She will always be remember as a very special teacher and friend.

Sorry that I can not be there to represent the Bodkin family in the passing of Mary Jane. I have many great memories of the times our families got together. I have on display a picture of Mary Jane and I on my grandfathers lap during one of those card playing gatherings. I will always remember helping Mary Jane with the sheep at 4-H while I was showing our cows. I still have flowers that Mary Jane gave me from your family home.
My deepest sympathy goes out to you and...

Mrs. Baker was my 5th grade teacher at Ingalls Elementary. She was such a nice lady. Have great memories of her at Ingalls School. Rest in Peace.

We offer our deepest condolences during this difficult time

Rest in peace, Mary Jane. We had lots of good times way back in the 70's at the lake. There were lots of people and laughs packed into that space. Time has moved on, but those days still remain memorable.

My 5th grade teacher at Ingalls. And she was a good friend to my grandmother, Mary Weir, who worked in the kitchen at Ingalls. She came to my grandmother’s 100th birthday party (in 2009) and that meant so much to my family. Peace and comfort to your family.

I would like to send my sincere condolences and prayers to my classmates, family and friends. You fought a long battle Mary Jane, now may you rest in peace. Love Carole Shirley Boston

I am so sorry to hear of Mary Jane's passing. I didn't know well, but we shared a wonderful adventure when I went with the group from East Elementary to Kenya. Mary Jane was so fun to be around and share that experience with.
I send prayers for her family as they grieve at this sad time.
