Obituary for Mary Jane Flaharty: November 1, 1944 to September 13, 2025

Mary Jane Flaharty of Yerington, Nevada, passed away peacefully on September 13, 2025, surrounded by her loving family. She was 80 years old, born on November 1, 1944, in Council Grove, Kansas and grew up in Bellflower, CA. She was also a longtime resident of Atascadero, CA, where she built deep roots and lasting friendships before relocating to Nevada.

Mary Jane was the true embodiment of a loving mother — steadfast, nurturing, and always present. No matter where life took her children and grandchildren, she remained a guiding hand and a source of unwavering support.

As the saying goes, “God could not be everywhere, and therefore He made mothers.” Mary Jane lived that truth every day.

Mary Jane Flaharty was the heart and soul of the Flaharty family. Whether she was caring for her children and their friends, working tirelessly at Flaharty’s Corner, leading 4-H with passion, or tending to the animals and home, Mary Jane was a constant source of love, strength, and support. Her unwavering dedication to her family touched lives and created a legacy of love and resilience. She spent the last few years enjoying the companionship of her friend Roger Bezayiff- traveling, cooking, playing bingo, and just spending time together. We are thankful for the joy that Roger brought into her life. She will be deeply missed and fondly remembered by all who knew her.

Mary Jane was preceded in death by her beloved husband Ron, her son Ron Jr., and her parents Estil and Marjorie Meyer. She is survived by her children Lori Gabaldon (Ray), Chad Flaharty (Gina), and Shawn Flaharty (Bobbie), 11 grandchildren, and a great-grandchild.

The family will have a private service at a later date.

“May her memory be eternal.”
