My memories of her come from my childhood. My parents (Allen & Edith Woods) were close friends to the Sharoian family. I always admired how strong Mary Jane's family was. Her family has my deepest condolences. May Mary Jane rest in peace.

Although my memories of Mary Jane are few I do think fondly of memories I had of her Mother & siblings. My parents were Allen & Edith Woods who were friends of The Sharoian's. Since my childhood home was just a block away from where Tako lived I got to spend alot of time in her home where she made me feel so special, just like her children did.- Such caring folks as I'm sure Mary Jane was. My sympathy to the family.

My memories of Mary Jane are all AAA, reflective of the super competent and kind person she was. My wife Thelma and I used to run into her now and then at Las Vegas’ Red Rock Casino, and we greatly enjoyed seeing her and talking about days at RIA.
Our sincere condolences go out to her family.
