Our sweet loving mother Mary Jean Hayes MCcabe (Mom), passed away in Tooele at the home of her daughter surrounded by her family July 18, 2010 from natural causes. She lived each and every day to the fullest. Everyone that knew mom thought of her as an angel. Mom was born to Dewey and Daisy Hayes on September 27, 1922 in Newark, Ohio. Mom was the second to the oldest of six children. Mom is proceeded in death by her siblings, Betty Charlton, Virginal Paul, Joanne Dean, William Hayes, as well as Richard Hayes. Mom married Dad, William Edward MCcabe June 29, 1940 in Newark, Ohio. They had five children, Billie Jean Dearing (Tom Dearing), Katie Hottinger (Jack Hottinger), Colleen MCcabe, Dawn Roberts (Eddie) as well as her only son (Frank MCcabe).

Mom retired from the Tooele Army Depot. She was also a crosswalk lady. Her children were her life. She taught them to cook, clean and how to become responsible. Mom’s favorite things in life were collecting dolls, gardening, cooking, camping. Her best buddy was her dog, Chico.

Mom is survived by all her children as well as two sisters-in-law, Francis Hayes (William), Elle Ray Hayes (Richard) and many nieces and nephews. We will all miss her spirit and wit. She is also survived by her 11 grandchildren, 19 great grandchildren and one great-great grandchild. Her wishes were to have a graveside service. It will be held in her honor Wednesday, July 21 at 12 p.m. at Tooele City Cemetery.

In lieu of flowers, please send donations to your local animal shelter or the Utah Humane Society.

Services are entrusted with Didericksen Memorial. Call 435-277-0050 for further details.

Mom, we will love you and will forever miss you.
