Mary Jane and Hank Jr. met at one of his concerts in 1985 and tied the knot in 1990. They had two children together, a daughter named Katie, who passed away in a car accident in 2020, and Sam, a country music singer.
Sam is devastated about his mother’s death. On March 23, he shared a statement with CMT, which read:
“Now she gets to radiate from above with my sister Katherine Diana right by her side. She grew up competing in baton and cheerleading and was one of Hawaiian Tropic’s top models. My father fell in love with the Daytona Beach beauty the minute he set eyes on her in the early 80s. They went on to live the most powerful love story of travel and hunting and raising a family…”
