Mary Jane was born on August 9th, 1944 in Stuart, Nebraska to loving parents Joseph and Irene (Hughes) Loecker. Mary's family paid this tribute to her: "Mary was one of the kindest, most generous and charitable people you will ever meet. Her Catholic faith was her rock. While most saw Mary as quiet, proper and astonishingly sweet, she also had an endearing, witty sense of humor that would catch so many people by surprise. Her timing for humor was always remarkable. Mary was a hard worker and very bright. She graduated from Elkhorn High School (Nebraska) in 1962 as the class Salutatorian although her path was to be the Valedictorian until she was told she would have to give a speech, so she flunked a test on purpose! She was also a history buff and made it her life's mission to learn all she could about the Orphan Train that transported her father to Nebraska in the early 1900's. Mary will be forever missed.' Mary Jane is survived by her two older siblings, Dr. Thomas Loecker of San Antonio TX and Roseanne Slevin of Denver CO; her eldest son, Matt Henry and his wife, Melinda of Aurora CO; her youngest son, Steve Henry and his wife, Erin of Aurora CO; and her two beautiful granddaughters, Shannon and Megan.
