Mary Jo had a way of making those around her feel so seen and loved. She was remarkably warm, kind, and generous- in a way that truly leaves a mark on those lucky enough to have spent time with her. I’m so sorry for your loss.

Mary Jo is just one of those people you never forget. Her smile, her magnetic, positive personality; her zest for life, and genuine spirit. I am so deeply sorry for your loss. I pray for peace & comfort. Mary Jo has touched & inspired so many people in a deep, profound way, including myself. Love & Hugs❤
Mary Jo had a twinkle in her eyes and a smile on her face that brought joy to the VA workplace. She was a go getter and friendly to boot. It was so enjoyable to watch her and her husband dance together at the celebrations honoring the long serving employees at the VA. God Bless your family and Godspeed to you.
I am so sorry to hear of Mary Jo’s passing. My condolences to the McCann and Dhein families.
Mary Jo (and Mark) were close friends with my parents, and I was always eager to find a way to chat with them at mutual gatherings. Mary Jo was so vibrant and full of life. I often wondered if she was ever in a bad mood because she only exuded positive energy. We will miss her warm smile and caring attitude.
Time spent with the Dhein family in Sartell as the children were growing up was always joyful. Mary Jo, you were a bright spirit….and still are. Blessings to the Dhein family.
I am truly sorry for your loss of Mary Jo. She was such a treasure. Always positive and encouraging. The world is a sadder place because of her passing.
