Mary Jane Adams

January 19, 1960 – March 1, 2023

Born on January 19, 1960 in Bellingham to Victor and Marie (Funk) Adams, Mary Jane passed away at home in Blaine on March 1, 2023. 

After graduating from Mount Baker High School in 1978, Mary Jane married Dan Hatton and they raised their two children in Whatcom County. She also owned and operated her own cleaning company.

A lover of the beautiful Pacific Northwest, Mary Jane enjoyed days spent at the ocean and mountains. She also liked gardening, camping, listening to Rod Stewart, and adding to her enormous collection of frogs. More than anything, Mary Jane cherished her family and spending time with her beloved grandchildren. A caregiver at heart, she was there for anyone who needed her, helping them through tough times with a hug and wise words. 

She was preceded in death by her parents; siblings, Norm Adams, Wayne Adams, Mark (Laurie) Adams, and Jerry Adams; her best friend Linda; and her longtime life partner, Nate Applington.

Survivors include her children, Mindy Tabor (John), and Mark Hatton; siblings, Larry Adams, Vicky Adams, and Carl Adams; grandchildren, Kason and Kya Tabor, and Dawson and Dylan Hatton; former spouse, Dan Hatton; and numerous nieces, nephews, and extended family. 

A memorial service will be held on Thursday, March 30 at 11 a.m. at Westford Funeral Home in Bellingham.
