Mary Grubbs (Sisk)

Mary Jane Grubbs, known to most as “Jane,” passed away on Thursday, June 29th at 3:52 a.m. in her Warsaw, Indiana home. She was 83 years old.
Jane was born on May 12, 1934 in Plymouth, Indiana. She was the daughter of Alva Leo and Dorothy Arvilla (Montague) Sisk. She was a 1952 graduate of Warsaw High School.
Jane and Donald E. Grubbs were united in marriage on September 20, 1952 in Warsaw, Indiana. They were married for almost 51 years until his passing on August 12, 2003.
Jane was a proud and devoted wife to one man, sister to two, sister-in-law to nine, mother of four, grandmother of ten, great grandmother of nineteen, and great, great grandmother of one. She had one clear favorite – all of them!
Jane willingly supported her husband of 50+ years. She traveled to over 100 softball games each year – with her children aboard. She attended each of her kids’ school and sporting events, participated and excelled in the local women’s bowling leagues, and loved playing card games – because she loved people and her family, in particular.
