Mary Jane Harper, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and friend, passed away on August 8, 2024, in Warner Robins, Georgia. Born on April 23, 1938, in Brunswick, Georgia, Mary Jane lived a full and vibrant life, cherished by all who knew her.
A dedicated homemaker, Mary Jane volunteered as a Pink Lady at Houston Healthcare in the late 1960’s and 1970’s, where her warmth and kindness touched the lives of many. Her green thumb, a gift inherited from her father, brought beauty to her garden, and her love for the outdoors was often spent sitting on her patio, enjoying the serene moments of life.
Mary Jane had a deep passion for cooking, indulging her family with delicious meals, and she was always delighted to discuss her grandchildren with anyone who would listen. She was a devoted fan of The Young and the Restless and The Bold and the Beautiful, never missing an episode. Her sweet tooth was legendary, and she never passed up an opportunity to enjoy any type of sweets.
Her phone conversations were filled with lively gossip and cherished memories, and she took great pleasure in reminiscing about the past. Mary Jane also enjoyed teasing her husband, Ed, with whom she shared a loving and enduring bond.
Mary Jane’s life was a testament to her loving spirit, her joy in simple pleasures, and her cherished relationships.
In addition to her parents, Ernest and Florece Coker, Mary Jane was preceded in death by her loving husband, Robert Edward Harper, Sr.; her sister, Peggy Walker; and her son-in-law, Randy Jones.
Her memory will forever be treasured by her children, Susan Harper Jones and Bobby Harper (Beth); grandchildren, Roman Jones (Jerre), Troy Jones (Amie), Hunter Harper (Ansley), and Timothy Jones (Sylandi); and her great-grandchildren, Avery Jones, Tanner Jones, Anna Kathryn Ham, Colson Jones, Anistyn Jones, Addisyn Jones and Addalyn Harper.
