Mary Jane Haake

Mary Jane departed this life on January 15, 2012. She was a great lady who cared deeply for her very large family and her beloved Church. Mary Jane was born August 21, 1920 in Kansas City, MO to Dr. Joel and Julia (Fasenmeyer) Denman. She earned her BA in Art from Saint Mary University in 1941. In her earlier years, she was a designer for Hallmark cards and throughout all her years, she never failed to remember the important dates of each and every family member. During her 55 years in Indianapolis, Mary Jane was a dedicated member of St. Joan of Arc Catholic Church, Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic Church and St. Luke's Catholic Church. While at Immaculate Heart, she often volunteered in the church office and helped organize the widows' group. Mary Jane also enjoyed helping others through Meals on Wheels. Mary Jane’s pride and joy was this large and energetic family she and her husband, Don, created and nurtured. Don preceded her in death in 1989 after 46 years of marriage. She was also predeceased by her brother, Anthony Denman; granddaughter, Ellen Beuoy and son-in-law, John Curran. Mary Jane is survived by her children, Donald F. (Rosemary) Haake, Jr., Judy Curran, Jeanne (John) Beuoy, Jane (Tom) Peters, Anne (Jim) Huntzinger, Betty (David) Smith, George Haake , Martha Teegarden and Mary (Darryl) McPherson; fifteen grandchildren and eleven great-grandchildren. She will be greatly missed. Visitation will be from 4:00-8:00 pm, Wednesday, January 18 in Feeney-Hornak Keystone Mortuary. Mary Jane had a great love for the Rosary and the Blessed Mother. We will say the Rosary together at 7:30 pm Wednesday evening at the Mortuary. Mass of Christian Burial will be the following day, Thursday January 19 at 11:00 am in St. Luke Catholic Church. Interment will take place at Oaklawn Memorial Gardens immediately following Mass.
