Mary-Jane died May 26th, 2011 after a struggle with pancreatic cancer. She was born March 14, 1926 to Greba and Allan Peters in Strasbourg, Saskatchewan - the eldest of three children.
In 1944 she attended the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon for 4 years and after one year of teaching she and Harry were married. They had two children, Patricia Ann and Michael Allan.
