Mary Jane Huggins, 81, of McKeesport, PA, went home to be with the Lord on November 24, 2025. Born on July 25, 1944, in Library, PA, she was the daughter of the late John and Anna Ondos. Mary Jane was a proud graduate of Snowden Township High School. Guided by a deep and steady faith throughout her life, she embodied kindness, humility, and a spirit of service to help care for others. She spent 20 years as a lunch lady at Francis McClure Middle School, where she loved socializing with the students and teachers and took pride in being a warm, familiar face to so many. She also worked 20 years in the deli at Foodland, where her friendly conversations and bright smile blessed everyone who walked through the door. Mary Jane's greatest purpose and joy came from loving and serving her family. A devoted mother, she worked tirelessly to provide for her two children and always put their needs before her own-living out her faith through quiet acts of compassion and generosity. She loved to cook, bake, and color, but most importantly, she loved caring for and spending time with her cats. In her younger years, she enjoyed dancing at The Grove and other local dance halls, and she carried that joy throughout her life, often having little dance parties in her kitchen as she cooked. She was kind, selfless, and able to talk to anyone. Her gentle spirit and open heart were a reflection of her faith, and she touched countless lives simply by being herself. She is survived by her children, Ronald (Lindsey) Huggins, and her daughter, Sherry Huggins; her beloved granddaughter, Skyler; and her brother, Joe Ondos. She was preceded in death by her parents, John and Anna Ondos, and her brothers Mike and John Ondos. Mary Jane is now reunited with her loved ones in heaven, and her family takes comfort knowing she rests in God's eternal peace. She will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered for her unwavering faith, her devotion to family, and the joy she brought into every room she entered. Family and friends will be received at Jaycox-Jaworski Funeral Home & Crematory on Sunday, November 30, 2025, from 2 to 4 p.m. and 6 to 8 p.m. The Divine Liturgy of Christian Burial will be held on Monday, December 1, 2025, at 10 a.m. at Saint Nicholas of Myra Byzantine Catholic Church. The burial will be private at St. John the Baptist Byzantine Catholic Cemetery in Bethel Park. Condolences and memories may be shared at www.jaycox-jaworskifh.com
