Mary Jane Fansler was born March 10, 1933, in Rochester, IN, to Richard and Letha (Mahler) Fansler. She graduated and received her diploma in 1951. Mary joined hands with Vern Eberts in January of 1961 and later separated in 1985. They had five children together.
Mary was a school bus driver for most of her life. After retiring as a school bus driver for Tekonsha Schools, Mary became a bus driver for BATA- Branch County in the public transportation division. She would finally and grudgingly retire from her post as a public bus driver at 85 years young.
When not driving the bus, Mary loved her family, baking, and cooking. She was always looking for the next best recipe.
Mary is survived by her children: Mark (Sheila) Eberts of Coldwater, Kathryn McCaffrey of Bloomington, IL, Kristin Glenn of Tekonsha, Kendra Eberts of Tekonsha, and Keri Drumm of Coldwater; grandchildren, Rachelle (Mike) Dunn, Angela (Lamont) Green, Andrew (Carmen) Glenn, Michael Drumm Jr., Joshua Drumm, Conner McCaffrey, Kellen McCaffrey, and Nicholas Drumm; seven great-grandchildren; and siblings, Sandy Ballinger of St. Joseph, and Jim Fansler of Coldwater.
Mary is preceded by her parents, ex-husband Vern Eberts, and several siblings.
