Mary Jo Dick Obituary
of Afton
Former Washington County Foster Parent
Left us on November 12th, 2024
Born on July 4th, 1947 in Rochester, MN to parents Fred & Rosemary (Hendry) Carr
Reunited with sister Colleen, brother Jamie, and many beloved pets.
She will be greatly missed by her husband Ray, daughters Monica and Amy; Joe (Erica); Adam; grandchildren; Sabrina (Jared), Pauly, Alexis, Mariah, Nick, Brody, Grant, Emma, Bree; great-grandson Jay; sister Patricia; her nieces, nephews, many relatives, and friends.
A woman who changed so many lives and left a lasting impact on countless families. She was a highly spiritual soul whose goodness radiated in how she cared for others and animals. Her generosity was above and beyond, always putting others first. She adored living in the woods where she and nature shared an immense joy and admiration. She loved to laugh and we loved to laugh with her.

I´m still heartbroken and feel terrible for Monica, Amy and Ray. I know Mary Jo touched many lives but I date back to the early years. Most memorable and precious to me and my family. Thinking of you guys and keeping you in our prayers. Kaylee Kiecker

Mary Jo and Ray welcomed all of us kids into their home back in the day. I spent a lot of time at there as a kid just hanging out with Amy and sometimes we just hung out with Mary Jo. It has been many years since I grew up and moved away, but I will never forget the time spent with Mary Jo. My condolences to the entire Dick family.
