Mary Jane Gardner

Mary Jane Gardner of Union Bridge MD went to be with the Lord on July 9th following a lengthy hospitalization. Mary fought like Hell to come home which is where she caught the ferry to Heaven.  She surely knew the broken hearts she’d leave behind which include daughter Melodye Bridges (TN), son Steven Gardner (Joppatown MD), daughter Melisa Dudzinski son-in-law Andrew Dudzinski and grandsons Sebastian and Gabriel Dudzinski (with whom she resided), Sisters Deborah Wilder, Pippy Jones, Cookie Jones (Hope Mills NC) and brother John Paul Jones (Idaho). As well as others she adopted along the way- seriously too many to list- she lived the way she loved, with her whole heart. She will be greatly missed. In lieu of flowers, the family ask that you donate to the American Heart Association or charity of your choice.
