Born in Boise, Idaho October 27, 1933, Mary Jo was a cherished daughter of her parents Philip and Edith Kerwin, and beloved sister of Shirley Dawn.
Mary Jo was an amazing and loving mother. She poured her heart into raising her sons and daughter, Scott, Jeff , and Julie, guiding them with compassion, wisdom, and unwavering support. Her children were her greatest joy, and her love for them will remain an eternal source of comfort. Her childen will forever carry her spirit in their hearts.
Mary Jo’s legacy is one of love—love for her family, her friends, her church and the countless lives she touched.
As we gather to celebrate her life, we honor not only the years she lived but the love she gave, the faith she embodied, and the legacy she leaves. Though she has departed from this earthly home, her love remains eternal, carried in the hearts of her family and in the lives she touched.
