Mary Jane was born on March 7, 1927, to Louis and Frances Trivisonno in Cleveland Ohio. She graduated from Sacred Heart High School before marrying the love of her life, Kenneth, after which they settled down In Mayfield Heights where she remained for 70 years. The two of them created a family of their own, adopting two children. An active volunteer at St. Clare Catholic Church, Mary Jane was a member of the mother's group and second in charge of the church's bingo nights. She was also a homeroom mom at St. Clare School and was greatly involved with other parents and staff there. Mary Jane was a homemaker who found the most enjoyment in life spending time with her family, and alongside caring for her own children, was a caretaker for many family members in need. In her free time, she enjoyed crocheting, bridge, various other card games, rooting for Cleveland's many sports teams in her matching t-shirts, going out to eat, and listening to Frank Sinatra. She was a fantastic entertainer and always hosted Christmas, Easter, and Sunday pasta dinners. Best described as a strong woman, Mary Jane was always there for anyone who needed her. She was friendly, outgoing, and always made everyone feel welcome in her presence. Above all, she was a wonderful woman who touched the lives of many. Mary Jane passed away peacefully surrounded by her family on March 1, 2025, leaving behind an indisputable legacy in the hearts of all who knew her.
