    Sister Mary Jane was a great person and a great “little” sister.
    She grew up in Randolph, MA, and was educated at Archbishop Williams High School by the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth. She was predeceased by her parents, John F.& Helen B. McMakin and two of her brothers, John F. McMakin, Jr and Robert J. McMakin. She has also taught at St Brigid’s School in South Boston, MA.

    I’m sure God is rewarding her greatly for her years of dedicated service to His Church!
