It is with profound sadness that The Clabough Foundation announces the recent passing of our beloved friend and Executive Administrator, Mary Jane Eisenberg. Mary Jane was a gifted and talented modern dancer and choreographer, a lifelong learner, and a deeply spiritual person. She enjoyed knitting, hiking in nature, and drinking really good tea. She is survived by her beloved wife and partner of over 30 years, Alyson. Mary Jane was known for her beautiful spirit and gentle strength, and she had a powerful impact on all who knew her. She will be greatly missed.
