Mary Jane Stash

Mary J. Stash, 66 of Plymouth, PA, and formerly of Jackson Township, passed away peacefully on Thursday, May 30, 2024, surrounded by her family.

Mary was a true lover of art and music and the beauty in this world. Mary’s talents and creativity resulted in beautiful flower bouquets, greeting cards and gardening. She was especially fond of visiting famers markets. She loved her family and making friends and had such a beautiful and kind heart.
