Mary Jane Foutty

She was born in Terre Haute, Indiana in August of 1929, to Raymond and Marguerite Donnelly Pritchett.

She graduated from Shortridge High School in Indianapolis and was a member

of Kappa Alpha Theta sorority at Butler University. She received her teaching

degrees from Indiana University and went on to teach in the business

department at Bloomington High School South where she was known for her

knowledge, patience and dedication to her students.

She was married to Robert Trinkle from 1950 until his death in 1999. They had

three children, three grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren whom she

loved to spend time with and photograph. She married Alan Foutty in 2003,

and had many wonderful years enjoying their families and friends together.

She was a longstanding and dedicated member of Cottonwood Christian

Church where she proudly sang in the choir. She enjoyed reading, traveling,

collecting shells, taking boat rides, playing with grandkids and great-grandkids,

and taking pictures of her family. She was never more happy than when she

had all four generations together.

Mary Jane is survived by her loving husband, Alan Foutty; her daughter Terri

Goebel (son-in-law Jerry), son Jeff Trinkle, and son-in-law Phil Francis; her

grandchildren Melissa Morris (grandson-in-law Chris), Matt Goebel, and Zack

Goebel; and great-grandchildren Charlie Morris, Riley Jane Goebel, and Sam

Morris.

Mary Jane was preceded in death by her parents, siblings, husband Robert

Trinkle, and daughter, Sue Francis.

There will be a graveside service on Sunday at the Pleasant View Cemetery at 2:30 p.m. for family and church members with a larger celebration of life to

follow in the future. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Cottonwood

Christian Church in her memory.
