About | MaryJane Greenhalgh Rossi (January 19, 1954 - May 31, 2013) MaryJane Greenhalgh Rossi was born January 19, 1954 to Margaret and Glenn Greenhalgh in Brigham City Utah. As a youngster she lived in many states and in Canada having attended many different schools. However she always had her love for Ogden, Utah. MaryJane graduated from Ogden High school in 1972. While she had many friends growing up Jean Braithwaite became as close of friends you can imagine. They continued their friendship throughout their adult lives and will someday meet again. One move her family made was to Fort Collins, Colo. where she met and married Wayne Rossi. In addition to raising their four children, she was a licensed day care provider for 28 years. She always prided herself on the fact that her day care home was not typical, as she took it upon herself to teach the children and prepare all of them for kindergarten and beyond. Numerous parents complimented her on the knowledge their children gained from her extra help. MaryJane was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and taught primary for many years in the Fort Collins wards she attended. She also looked forward each and every year to be part of girls camp where she often went way beyond the calling. She was creative in coming up with ideas the girls enjoyed doing while at camp, sleeping in tents, and putting up with the rain. Those that welcomed her into Heavenly Fathers Kingdom include her mother, Margaret Greenhalgh, grandparents Roy and Ethel Greenhalgh, and Laura and Stanley Smith. She will be waiting for those that still live here on earth.
