Mary Jane Johnston
Mary Jane Johnston (nee Roulston), 94, was born in County Donegal, Ireland on February 24, 1911.She died at her home in Lexington Park on June 6, 2005. Mary Jane was one of seven children of Samuel and Elizabeth Maghee Roulston. She married
John Henry (Harry) Johnston in 1936 and they had a family of four children. The family immigrated to the United States in April 1955 aboard the Queen Elizabeth and settled in Philadelphia among other family members. They were active members of the Chestnut Hill Baptist Church in Philadelphia.
Mary Jane (Jean) was a licensed practical nurse who worked for many years at the Masonic Home of Pennsylvania from which she retired in 1982. She and Harry moved to Maryland in 1987 to be closer to their children.
Mary Jane possessed a remarkable humor and easy laugh that endeared her to friends across many generations. She imbued family events with levity, always welcoming a joke, particularly if it had a twist or unexpected ending. Her family took great joy in spending time with her, and she drew them together frequently for large -- and usually loud -- gatherings.
Every family member was the recipient, not only of her beautiful handiwork in the form of knitted tea cozies and crocheted blankets, but also of her faithful prayer on behalf of each of them.
Mary Jane was highly influential in the lives of her children and grandchildren. This influence was centered in her open and practical Christianity. She was known for honesty, hard work and love, for hospitality and caring. Her wisdom was a blessing to her many young friends and her commitment to prayer, perhaps her greatest gift to her family. Her sure knowledge of the truth of the Gospel translated into every decision she made.
She is predeceased by her husband Harry and her siblings, William, Jack and Samuel Roulston, Olive Smith, Edith Bogle and Rebecca Troughton. Her youngest sister Stuart Hanks of Winnipeg, Manitoba survives her.
Mary Jane leaves four children; Ruth Gallihue (and Lester) of Magnolia, Delaware, Beryl Fricke (and David) of Bishkek, Kyrghyzstan, Rev. Cyril Johnston (predeceased by Mary Jane) of La Vale, Maryland and Margaret Foyle (and Thomas William) of Lexington Park, Maryland.
Her 12 grandchildren are Mark Gallihue, Ian Gallihue, Joel Gallihue Keith Gallihue, David Fricke, Jonathan Fricke, Heather Montgomery, Laura Godfrey, Karen Johnston, Molly Foyle, Victoria Foyle, and Thomas W. Foyle II.
Her eight great grandchildren are Taylor and Liam Gallihue, Emma, Robin, and Patrick Godfrey, David and Katie Fricke and Hannah Fricke.
A service of celebration will be held at the Chestnut Hill Baptist Church, Philadelphia, with burial following at George Washington Memorial Park in Plymouth Meeting, Pennsylvania on Wednesday June 8, 2005.
