CHRISTNER, Mary Jane 12/21/2006 The New Republic

  December 13, 2006
 
  Mary Jane Christner, 71, died peacefully at home, surrounded by her much loved
 family, on December 13, 2006. Born in Somerset County but resided in Akron, OH
 for most of her life. Preceded in death by her parents William and Clara
 Hotchkiss; husband Ray of 52 years; brothers: Bobby, William, Jr., David,
 Donald; sister Margaret; and granddaughter Angie. She is survived by her
 children: Ray (Butch) Jr. (Sherry); Margie Simmons (Bill); Glenn (Pam); William
 (Joyce) and Wendy Hatcher (Jerry); brother Larry Hotchkiss (Jeannie);
 grandchildren: Staci Martin (Mike); Eddie (Tasha); Christopher, Terry, Brandin;
 great-grandson Ty; and also a large group of extended family and friends. She
 retired from Summit Grinding after 25 years of service. Her loving and
 unselfish acts touched many lives, often times anonymously. Even nearing death,
 her family was still her main priority. She was dearly loved and will be greatly
 missed. If she had a boat filled with love, hers would surely sink. Friends and
 family were received at Newcomer Funeral Home, 131 N. Canton Rd., Akron, OH
 44305. Funeral service was held at the funeral home, Pastor Jim Jensen 
 officiating. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Sawyerwood United
 Methodist Church or Hospice of VNS. Online condolences may be made at
