“So the girl from Daytona Beach, Florida went with me to the snow covered mountains of Montana and she fell in love with it,” Hank Williams Jr.’s post continued. “She could hit an elk at 400 yards, sitting on the side of a cold mountain. … Then go from that to dressing up for one of our many award shows. It’s like they couldn’t get enough photos of the stunning beauty, Mary Jane.”
Hank Williams Jr. went on: “She hunted Africa, where we slept on cots out in the open, listening to the lions and the hippos and the hyenas. Several trips to Alaska, huge Kodiak bears, moose, etc. Fishing in South America. So many happy times were spent at the Montana Ranch and house. She could and did DO IT ALL!”
