Mary Jo Jordan

Mary Joan Jordan, affectionately known as Mary Jo, was born on September 14, 1928, in Indianapolis, Indiana. She gracefully left this world on November 3, 2024, surrounded by the love and warmth she so generously bestowed upon her family and friends.

Mary Jo dedicated a significant portion of her life to her career as a secretary with Allison Transmissions, where she worked diligently until her retirement in the early 1980s. Her work ethic was admired, but it was her devotion to her family that cast the brightest light in her life. Mary Jo is remembered for the countless cherished moments shared during huge family dinners and themed parties that filled her home with laughter and love.

Mary Jo always was giving back to the community, she had over 3000 volunteer hours at St. Francis Hospital in Beech Grove and supported organizations that help those less fortunate.

Affectionately known for walking to St. Mark Catholic Church, where she was a devoted member, Mary Jo's faith was a cornerstone of her life. The church was not just a place of worship for her, but a community where she connected deeply with those around her.

Her personality radiated warmth; she was loving, generous, and caring. Mary Jo found immense joy in her hobbies, particularly gardening and raising strawberries, which she proudly sold, sharing the fruits of her labor with others. She was a nurturing soul whose touch transformed everything she engaged with, whether it was in her beautiful garden or within her home.

Mary Jo’s proudest accomplishment was marrying Hubert “Sonny” Jordan on August 2, 1952. Their union was filled with love and mutual respect, even as she mourned his passing. She also cherished her siblings, Elizabeth Tanasovich, Patricia Raftery, and David Weber, her niece and caregiver Penelope Brown, who survive her. Many fond memories were created with numerous nieces and nephews who will forever hold her close in their hearts.

Mary Jo joins her beloved parents, Fred and Elizabeth Schrader Weber, her late husband Sonny, and her brother John Weber in eternal rest.
