Mary Jane Lopez

Friday, September 23, 2016

Mrs. Mary Jane Lopez, 67, of Gosnell passed away on Wednesday, September 21, 2016. Born in Blytheville on January 19,1949 to the late Cecil and Vena Counts Haley. She was a member of Bethany Baptist Church in Gosnell, where she worked in the nursery for a while.

Jane loved working in the yard and she loved flowers. She had a "green thumb", and could make almost anything grow. She also enjoyed going to the hills and camping out. She was very fond of gospel music and could listen to it all day long, especially the Gaithers. She liked to sit in her chair and sing hymns from the old hymnbooks.

Jane was very fond of dogs and she was very soft-hearted, often taking in stray dogs. She was a very loving person and the "pride and joy" of her life was her children and her grand children; they always came first. Jane was also very proud of her American Indian heritage.

She was preceded in death by her parents and two of her sisters, Dora Murrell and Candace Haley.
