Since 2006 Mary Jane has organized a large number of teams called "Paula's Angels" in Honor of her BEST FRIEND Paula Wright for City, State and Nationals Tournaments. Mary Jane was Honored to carry on the legacy of her friend throughout the bowling community and will be dearly missed by all her bowling friends. Mary Jane earned many City, State and National accolades for high games, singles and doubles, team and high series.

She once shared a story with us ladies about how she has done everything from the front of the house, to the back of the house, her words were " I've done it ALL". Some of the things Mary Jane loved the most was traveling with family and friends to tournaments while visiting city zoos along the way. She enjoyed scrapbooking and creating homemade cards for holidays and special occasions for family and friends.
