Mary Jane Clovis, 73, of Wana, left us on Feb. 1, 2022, with her family and friends by her side at home. Mary Jane was born Aug. 16, 1948, in Fairmont, to Fred and June Clovis.
She graduated from Clay Battelle High School and Fairmont State College, where she obtained a teaching degree. She taught several semesters in St. Mary’s County, Md. She later attended Ohio Valley General Hospital School of Nursing in August 1973 and graduated in May 1976, at which time, she began her nursing career at WVU Hospitals.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Fred and June Clovis, and sister-in-law, Patricia Clovis.
Mary Jane is survived by her brother, Rod Clovis (Willie Elliott); brother, Tim Clovis; several nieces and nephews, Clint Clovis (fiance’ Cathy), Chris Clovis (Alberta), Robin Wade (Chris), Jeremy Clovis (Wendy), Chelsa Kolb (fiance’ Kevin), Hillary Clovis (Kristin) and Josh Clovis (Chastity); and many great-nieces and nephews, one of whom she dearly adored, Abigale Clovis, who was more like a daughter. She also had a four-legged companion named Holland, who visited often.
Mary Jane was blessed in life with a number of dear friends, many of whom she considered family. A special thanks to her caregivers, Char, Shirley, Allie and WV Caring.
