Mary Jane Pierce 81, of Pattonville Texas, went to be with her Lord and Savior on September 15th, 2025.
Mary Jane was born on April 17th, 1944, in Blythe California, to parents Lois and A.B. Callaway. Where she grew up with two sisters, she loved dearly and four brothers she adored.
Mary Jane met best friend and future husband, Edward Pierce in the second grade. They went on their first date October 15th, 1960, and knew the following week would both be their last first date, they were married the following year on May 19th, 1961. They had three amazing children that she was so incredibly proud of and 10 grandchildren, 14 great grandchildren, and 1 great-great grandchild. They had the love of a lifetime, if there was ever a love story worth telling and modeling your own after it was theirs.
Mary Jane was a dedicated wife, mother, and grandmother who did nothing halfway. She poured everything she had into anything she did. She loved nothing more than her amazing husband and doted on all of her grandchildren. She was a small lady but had the fight and heart of a giant. She lived, loved, and inspired with every ounce of her being. Her absence leaves us all at a loss, but her memory will live on through her family and friends.
She is survived by her husband, Ed Pierce and children, Tammy (James), Shelly (Barry), and Paul (Misty). She is survived by 2 brothers, Jay and Jack Madison, and 2 sisters, Nancy Carel and Rhonda McElvaney. She leaves behind 10 grandchildren, 14 great grandchildren and 1 great-great grandchildren.
