Mary Jane married James E. Clark on February 15, 1966.

Mary Jane and her husband moved to Roswell, NM in 1975 and vowed to remain there until all their children graduated from high school. Shortly after moving to Roswell, Mary Jane found a job that allowed her to do to something she loved which was to sew. She began working at Levi Strauss where she remained for over 20 years, until Levis closed their doors for good. Following her retirement, she continued to sew clothing, dolls, etc. which she than donated to St. Peters Church for their community closet and various church bazaars. She loved her church and became very active following her retirement from Levis.
