Mary Jean Crandall

Berlin

What a life … 95.5!

If you knew Mary Jean, you were well aware she was full of zest and vitality.

Born in Minnesota in 1926, she lived life to the fullest. She raised four kids, Kim, Scott, Kelly and Kasey.

Decades ago two awesome men joined the family, Richard Malone and Ron Callison, two more sons for MJ.

For the past two years, both Scott and Dick cared for our mom with tenderness, dedication and love.

Grams loved her grandchildren, Drew and Kim Neyman, Katy and John Homyk, Emily and Scott Masuhr, and Mary and Will Hathaway. She was proud of them and their life accomplishments.

Recently the great-grands, Hudson, Carter, Greyson, Molly Jean and Hattie, warmed her soul with amusement and joy.

Throughout her life she had a thirst for knowledge. She cherished her early years at Carleton and Occidental colleges.

She continued her learning quest by participating in lifelong learning courses, reading and traveling the world extensively visiting over 70 countries.

Mary Jean was always up for boating, a bridge game, a glass of wine, a gathering of friends and family, and any adventure big or small that came her way. She had a memory like no other and could spin a great story.

This incredible woman will be sorely missed – Mom, Mary Jean, Grams, MJ, Miss Mary, Midge. Rest in Peace, we love you more than you know.
