Mary Jane was born in Marion, IN on September 8, 1937 to the late Rev. Garl and Virgia Shaw. She graduated from Adams Central high school in Monroe, IN in 1955, then earned her degree in elementary education from Marian College in 1959, and her Masters in Education in 1967. In 1963 she married Rev. John Hall. 

As a Pastor’s wife, Mary Jane served for 31 years in ministry alongside her husband at several churches in Indiana. She also taught elementary school for 33 years in Indiana. Most of her life was spent in Indiana until July 2021 when she made the decision to move with her daughter to South Carolina. She enjoyed being a part of Victory Baptist Church, as well as Victory Seniors. Special friends would gather at her home for various parties, meals, or small groups that her daughter led. This group of friends was special to her and called her “grandma.”

Mary Jane spent her life serving God. She was saved at a young age, and she is seeing Him face to face today. She would want everyone to know that Heaven is a real place, and you can go there by accepting Jesus as your Savior. This will allow you to see her again in her glorified body free of dialysis clinics and constant pain. 

In addition to her parents and her husband, she was preceded in death by her brother, Robert Shaw (Phyllis). 

Survivors include her children, Karen Hall of Graniteville, SC and Jay Hall (Peggy) of Winamac, IN; grandchildren Krystal Sellers of Goshen, IN, Jaylynn Hall of Smithville, MO, Breanna Warren (Cree) of Winamac, IN, Lena Hall (Sam Teel) of Winamac, IN, and Nicholas Hall of Winamac, IN; great-grandchildren Kalvin McGee, Dillion Warren, and William Warren; several nieces and nephews; and a sister-in-law, Mary Ann Norton of Burlington, WI.
