Mary Jane Schoen OBITUARY
Mary Jane Schoen OBITUARY
Mary Jane Schoen passed away peacefully at Allied Hospice on Tuesday, November 3, 2026, and RAN THROUGH THE PEARLY GATES TO JESUS and her parents, Carl Schoen and Mary Lenihan Schoen, both of Scranton, along with grandparents and other ancestors.
She was born and lived in North Scranton for her life, moving to Allied Services William Warren Scranton Residence in 2004 where she had resided since then. Mary Jane faced many struggles in childhood but that just made her a stronger person as she grew up. She was the 1966 poster child for Easter Seals in Scranton and was quite active for most of her young life alongside her two sisters.
She loved going to Day Program where she did puzzles and arts and crafts. She also loved watching TV, especially game shows, the News and Disney programs. And during warm weather, she loved to ‘stroll’ around the Allied Residence in her wheelchair. She also loved being fussed over having her hair and nails done. Her favorite thing to eat was Chinese Food and demanded it for her birthday every Christmas.
She is survived by two sisters, Margaret Hynosky, and husband Robert, of North Scranton and Christina ...
