July
21, 1939 – December 5, 2003
MaryJane Brizard, 64, died unexpectedly in a single car accident less than an eighth of a mile from her home in Groveland California, returning from a short trip to the market.
She
and her husband of nearly 20 years, Alson Brizard, had moved to Groveland three
years ago after selling their farm in Patterson, CA, where they raised walnuts,
and MaryJane had a book distribution business.
They quickly established Groveland as their home while she became
involved with several local charity endeavors, including Helping Hands Thrift
Shop and South Side Seniors Center. She
belonged to the local quilt club and did business as a seamstress from her home.
In
earlier years she and her husband were extremely active in the Sports Car Club
of America, where she performed many duties as a volunteer race worker and
official. She
became the first race official to be in charge of sound monitoring and
enforcement, a position that would grow in importance nationwide.
Her
husband, a son, John Perry of Concord NC, and granddaughter, Brittany, survives
MaryJane.
Remembrances may be made to South Side Senior Services Fund, C/o Sonora Area Foundation, PO Box 577, Sonora, CA 95370; or favorite charity.
