Mary Jane Ransley of Carolina Village in Hendersonville passed away on February 9, 2016 after an incredibly brave battle with cancer. She was the daughter of the late Ethel and Joseph O’Grady.
Mary Jane leaves behind the love of her life, Jack, who she was married to for more than 40 years. She taught fourth grade in Middletown Township, New Jersey for 30 years and, upon her retirement, she and Jack moved to Hendersonville, North Carolina and built a beautiful home. She enjoyed gardening, travel and her beloved cats. Mary Jane was very accomplished at knitting and various other needlework arts. Volunteer service was also an important aspect of her life; she spent many hours volunteering at local Hendersonville schools.

Also surviving are her step-children, Susan, John and Andrew; her step-granddaughters, Oona and Leta; and step-grandsons James, Aaron and Nathan. Additionally, she is survived by Jesse, Finn and Scarlett, her step-great-grandchildren.
