Obituary
Bull, Mary Jane
MADISON-Mary Jane Bull, age 69, of Madison, passed away on Monday, April 13, 2015, at St. Mary’s Hospital. She was born on July 2, 1945, in Milwaukee, the daughter of Edward and Mary (Bruske) Bull. Mary Jane graduated from St. Mary’s College in South Bend, Indiana in 1967. She was a lifelong learner, whose pursuits included, organic gardening, Spanish, science and spirituality. Mary Jane was a very giving soul who was also a lifelong volunteer, including St. James Parish Choir, lunches and most ministries and activities of the church. As a Benedictine Oblate of Holy Wisdom Monastery, Mary Jane’s strong and confident faith was the directing power throughout her life. She worked for Covance for, in her words, “36 years, 10 months and 4 days”. Mary Jane was active in Turners, having recently received the Hall of Fame award for her service on the local, state and national level. She volunteered for over 30 years for the Catholic Multicultural Center. Mary Jane also volunteered with the Pregnancy Help Line. She was a member of the Madison Herb Society and was an avid and passionate gardener. Every life Mary Jane encountered was touched by her. Mary Jane’s true strength, courage and grace were most evident in her final battle with cancer. She always looked forward. She shared her joy, and never shared her pain. Mary Jane is survived by her beloved and loving son, David Bull; and a large extended family and a wide circle of friends and fellow travelers. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at GOOD SHEPHERD CATHOLIC PARISH AT ST. JAMES, 1204 St James Ct, Madison, at 11 a.m., on Tuesday, April 21, 2015. Burial will be at Roselawn Memorial Park.

I knew Mary Jane from St. Bernard's grade school and the one year I went to Edgewood High School, but most recently on facebook. I am glad that she is not suffering any more and will be at peace. My thoughts and prayers are with family. Janice Brown

Mary Jane was very special to us all at Madison Turners. She unselfishly gave so much of herself in service to the organization having served on both local and national Turner boards for as long as I can remember. It was an honor to know and work with her over the years. She will be missed. David, our hearts go out to you in your time of loss!
