Mary Jane and her family have been a “second family” to the Libby's family for almost 70 years. Mary Jane earned her degree as a Home Economics major at State Teachers College at Farmville, Virginia. The skills she developed are demonstrated in a simple dish that’s been eagerly anticipated at family gatherings, Strawberry & Orange Juice Gelatin.
Mary Jane’s youngest daughter, Jane, comments, “Gelatin salads WERE Mother’s ‘signature.’ She was so creative – as well as SO generous with her salads. She must have made several hundred through the years.”

But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
