Mary Jane Hyde, 91, of Galena, IL, and formerly of Metairie, LA, died on July 18, 2020, suddenly at home. Funeral services will be held at 11 AM on Wednesday, July 29, 2020, at the Furlong Funeral Chapel, Galena and where friends may gather after 10:30 until time of service. Burial will be at a later date. Social distancing and the wearing of masks are encouraged. The Furlong Funeral Chapel is assisting the family. Cremation rites have been accorded. She was born on April 3, 1929, in Galena to LeRoy and Mary (Bainbridge) Oldenburg.  Jane graduated from Galena High School in 1947 and went on to attend Clark College to become a dietician. She received her master’s degree from University of Indiana. After moving to Seattle for work, she met her husband, Dr. Paul Martin Hyde. They were united in marriage on August 18, 1956, at St. Michael’s Church, Galena, and they settled down in Metairie, where they raised their three children: Laurie, Amy, and Patrick. After years of being a dietician, she changed careers and became a real estate agent in the greater New Orleans area. However, her dedication to volunteerism remained constant throughout from volunteering for meals on wheels to helping teen mothers in need. In recent years, Jane resided in Galena with her sister Linda Pluym.  Jane would proudly tell anyone she was 91 years old, and she still completed the New York Times crossword puzzle daily. She was an avid Jeopardy fan, and everyone knew to never try to talk to her during Jeopardy. Jane is survived by her children Amy Hyde of Baton Rouge, LA, and Patrick (Mary Beth) Hyde of Galena, son-in-law Jim Tull of Ithaca, NY, her grandchildren Nick, Alex, and Stephanie Hyde, Jessica (Joe) Mulford, Sarah (Alec) Lafargue, and Joshua and Zachariah Tull, great-grandchildren Summer, Fox, and Van Mulford, sisters Betty (Harvey) Lewin and Linda (Ken) Pluym, and many nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her husband, daughter, Laurie Hyde-Tull, brother, James Oldenburg, and sister in-law, Ardith Oldenburg. The Hyde family wants to thank her caretakers, Jan and Marsha, Linda and Ken Pluym, Galena EMS, Jo Daviess County Sherriff’s Department, and Midwest Medical Center for their care and compassion.
