Mary Chester Obituary
Kennett Square, PA - Mary Jane Chester of Kennett Square, PA, formerly of Hinsdale, NH, passed away April 17, 2018.
Jane was a graduate of Hinsdale High School, Hinsdale, NH and attended the University of Hartford. She spent 20 years in the horse racing industry and 20 years as a realtor in 5 different states.
Jane's unique brand of wit and humor will be missed by all of her loved ones, especially her adoring husband, Michael. This song; Love Minus Zero/No Limit describes Michael and Jane's love for one another: "My love she speaks like silence, without ideals or violence. She doesn't have to say she's faithful, yet she's true, like ice, like fire. People carry roses, and make promises by the hour, my love she laughs like the flowers, Valentines can't buy her" (Bob Dylan).
Jane was predeceased by her mother and father, Harold and Marguerite Bernier and her sister, Barbara. She is survived by her loving husband of 33 years, Michael Chester; sisters, Beverly and Carol; her brother, Bob; many nieces, nephews, grand-nieces and grand-nephews.

Janie was a great friend and neighbor of my family. Her father, Harold, and mine, Francis A. Cherrier, were longtime good friends. Janie used to take me and my younger sisters out in her convertible when we were teenagers. My Mom worked at the horse track in Hinsdale for awhile, another way we knew Janie. She offered us an older race horse, Scottie G, which my sisters and I so dearly wanted, but our parents didn't think we would be able to care for him. Janie was a beautiful, loving, fun person. My condolences and love to her family and friends.
