Mary Jane McKinney, 72, of Edwardsville, Illinois, passed away peacefully on November 3, 2026, at St. Louis University Hospital in St. Louis, Missouri, with her daughter at her side.
Mary Jane was born on June 20, 1954, in Wausau, Wisconsin, to Robert and Vonceil Lankford. She worked as a cook for the Edwards County School District for 28 years. She enjoyed gardening, feeding hummingbirds, reading, and reconnecting with old friends on Facebook. However, her greatest joy was being a Mimi and spending time with her granddaughter, Adelynn. You could often find them baking, playing games, or watching movies together.
She is survived by her daughter, Cortney, and granddaughter, Adelynn.
She was preceded in death by her parents.
Cortney, I was so sorry to hear of this. I have many good memories of when your family lived in town and when MJ and I worked at the school. Thinking of you all. ❤️
My dearest sympathies go out to family n friends. Mary Jane was part of the gang.
You will be missed!
