Mary Jane Mugerauer, age 86, affectionately known as "Janer" by her family, died on Friday, May 11, at Golden Age Manor in Amery, Wis.
She was born in Oshkosh, Wis., on April 10, 1926, to Henry and Mary (Schneider). She was the third of six children. Mary Jane attended Sacred Heart Grade School and South Park Junior High. While at a Gene Autry stage show on Dec., 7, 1941, Mr. Autry announced to her and the rest of the audience that Pearl Harbor had been bombed and all the children needed to return home to their parents. In her senior year of high school, she was recruited to work at a war-time assembly plant where she was issued dog tags as her work was classified. On July 27, 1945, she was united in marriage to Arthur (Archie) Mugerauer. To this union one daughter, Ruth, was born. In 1954, Archie and Mary moved to this area and built and very successfully ran the "Four Corner's Restaurant" (now known as Crossroads.)
Mary Jane loved to cook and bake. She was an avid reader, and her favorite movie was “"The Sound of Music." She loved to volunteer at school where she was affectionately known as Miss Mary.
