Mary Jane Warner's Obituary
Sunrise, Jan 10, 1922, Omaha, Nebraska Sunset, May 2, 2008, Hayward, California Resident of Hayward Parents John Landi and Fanny Incontro who emigrated from Italy. Predeceased in death by her beloved husband of 59 plus years, Ray Warner and son Steven Warner. She leaves her daughter, Kathleen Kuwitzky (Richard), son Dennis I. Warner (Susan) and grandchildren Mathew Kuwitzky (Tina), Karen Kuwitzky and Steven Warner. She also leaves her sister Theresa Formosa, brothers Leonard (Estelle) Landi, Ciro (June) Landi and many nieces and nephews who will all miss her dearly. She also leaves her dedicated caregiver and friend of the last 4 1/2 years, Mary Fine who made her life after Ray’s death so much easier to bear. Mary Jane was a proud member of Balboa High School Alumni Class of 1940. She has been active in numerous school PTA’s, was a Troop Leader in Girl Scouts, and a Cub Scout Den Mom. She worked for a number of years for the Hayward School District and she was a past President of Saint Clements Women’s Guild and served on numerous planning committees for the Bay Area Hammond Organ Club and Bay Area Dance Club functions. She and her husband Ray won many ballroom dance contests over the years and not being able to dance with him anymore was her greatest loss. She had a multitude of friends who loved her dearly. To meet her was to like her. She was always ready to give a hand to someone should they need it. She had a great sense of humor and even towards the end of her illness if you asked how she was feeling she would say “with my hands” and laugh. We will sorely miss her.
