Mary Jane Clovis, 73, of Wana, left us on February 1, 2022, with her family and friends by her side at home. Mary Jane was born August 16, 1948, in Fairmont, WV to Fred and June Clovis.
She graduated from Clay Battelle High School and Fairmont State College where she obtained a teaching degree. She taught several semesters in St. Mary’s County, MD. She later attended Ohio Valley General Hospital, School of Nursing in August 1973 and graduated in May 1976, at which time, began her nursing career at WVU Hospitals.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Fred and June Clovis and sister-in-law, Patricia Clovis.
Mary Jane is survived by her brother, Rod Clovis (Willie Elliott); brother Tim Clovis; several nieces and nephews, Clint Clovis (fiance’ Cathy); Chris Clovis (Alberta); Robin Wade (Chris); Jeremy Clovis (Wendy); Chelsa Kolb (fiance’ Kevin); Hillary Clovis (Kristin); Josh Clovis (Chastity), and many great nieces and nephews, one of which she dearly adored, Abigale Clovis, who was more like a daughter. She also had a 4-legged companion named Holland who visited often.
Mary Jane was blessed in life with a number of dear friends, many whom she considered family. A special thanks to her caregivers, Char, Shirley, Allie, and WV Caring.
Friends may call at the Tennant Funeral Home, 2678 Hornet Highway, Hundred, from 3-8 PM on Saturday. Funeral service will be held in the funeral home at 1:00 PM Sunday. Interment will follow in the Wadestown Cemetery, alongside her parents.

Mary Jane was one of my CBHS classmates. I remember and always enjoyed her wicked sense of humor. The classmates from Wana/Wadestown were such fun. Too many of them are gone now. My condolences to Mary Jane's family and loved ones.
Sorry for your loss.
With sad and heavy hearts, we say goodbye to our dear MJ. Our times together were wonderful and her friendship, like her personality, was true and substantial. We will miss Mary Jane so much, but the hole left behind is miniscule compared to the magnificent impact of having known and celebrated life in her company. Godspeed dear friend.
