McCabe Funeral Home

Jane will truly be missed. A friend for forty five years. Friend is a word easily said but to me Jane was a special and treasured friend. Exceptional, honorable, smart, freely giving and available to help others. Calling me frequently during my recovery from surgery just to see how I was doing and I no longer lived close. And oh that smile. That smile of hers will always be in my heart. I wish for Jane to have a peaceful rest. She deserves it.

For a number of years, Jane occupied a cubicle next to mine at the Walter Reuther Library where we both worked as archivists. I will always remember her kindness and the great conversations we had. May she rest in peace.

I remember Mary Jane Wilson as I knew her, as the cutest little girl in our grade school days at Hayti Elementary School! She wore her hair in neat braids! She was one of the smartest kids for sure! I loved the big farmhouse she lived in on Ecorse Rd. She excelled in her studies at Romulus Junior@ Senior High Schools, but she wasn't to studious to have fun after school, and we did have some fun adventures?? obviously , she used her gifts & talents well as an adult. We reconnected A few years ago, and I so enjoyed hearing about what she was doing both professionally and of course she talked often about her children and grandchildren, and and other very special family members. She cared so deeply about everyone. she was always quick to reach out to me in Texas when ever she heard of any threatening weather. I loved her straightforward view on things and I will deeply miss our lengthy emails back-and-forth. My sympathy goes out to her family and all who knew this wonderful woman. She will certainly be missed. Somehow, I just keep the memory of that cute little girl with her braids standing in front of the farmhouse, waiting for that big old school bus.

a woman who cared about, wanted to help everybody--and did. Family, friends, neighbors and any stray or lost animals that turned up in her yard or on her front porch. When a dear dog of mine died, I remember I went over to her house to share and ease that sorrow.
