Mary was born in 1921 in Brugges, Belgium. She immigrated to Canada in 1927, eventually residing in Fort Whyte, Manitoba. Mary married Gerry in 1943. They took over the family farm where they worked and raised their children. In 1965, they sold the farm and moved to Fort Richmond. They spent the next years travelling throughout Canada, the US, New Zealand and Europe. 25 years were spent as “snow birds” in the south.
Mary was a very caring person who loved and enjoyed her family. Mom had a real zest for life and was an organizer. Trips to the casino were always on her agenda.
The family would like to acknowledge the caring staff at Vista Park Lodge for their caring and compassion for the short time Mom was there.
As per Mom’s wishes, a private Celebration of Life is being held.
