Mary Harned Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Mary Jane was always a fast learner and loved to use her talents in many crafts and hobbies, especially making jewelry. She and her daughter Elizabeth enjoyed doing craft shows together and sold their pieces at Knoxville Soup, Candle, and Gifts on Gay Street here in Knoxville.
Mary Jane and Doug loved traveling to beautiful places like the islands of Hawaii and Alaska. She especially enjoyed many trips with her children to the beach and Disney World.
Mary Jane's grandchildren brought her more joy in her later life than anything else. She leaves behind three beautiful grandsons that adored their Grammy very much: Lincoln James Harned, Liam Matthew Lynch, and Ethan Aaron Lynch.
Mary Jane was loved tremendously by her family and her heart will remain with them forever. The world lost one of its brightest lights, but her family will be reunited with her again one day.
The family will hold a visitation from 4:00pm-6:00pm on Friday, August 5, 2022 at Central Baptist Church in Fountain City. A service will follow at 6:00pm.
Gentry Griffey Funeral Chapel is honored to serve the Harned family and invites you to view and sign the online registry.

Mr. Harned and family,
So sorry for your families loss.
Mary Jane was a wonderful person. I worked at RMS with her. She was always a such a sweet person. I enjoyed her jewelry that she made I got several pieces from her. Just so thankful the Lord let our paths cross in this world. Until we see her again in heaven.
Sending prayers of comfort and peace for your family.
