Mary Grace Brady
1923-2019
Mary Grace Brady (nee
McDermott)
January 12, 1923 – October
7, 2019
It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Mary
Grace on Monday, October 7, 2019 in her 97th
year at Country Terrace in Komoka. Each and every one of
those years was filled with joy and passion. She is predeceased by her
loving husband, Bob. Together they attended and chronicled every
family milestone and showered us with their love and
generosity. After retiring from a long career with the Bank
of Montreal in London, Mary went directly over to St.
Joseph’s Hospital where she volunteered for the next 30
years. Many of those years were spent comforting and caring for
children awaiting and coming from surgery. Both she and Bob were
dedicated to giving back to the community and did so through Shriners,
the hospital, the Canada Games and many other worthwhile charities and
fundraisers. Mary cherished her family and her friends and devoted
herself to keeping everyone connected and cared for. She will be sadly
missed.
Mary was born and raised in Tavistock, a daughter of the late
Mary and Stanley McDermott. She leaves behind her cherished brother
John McDermott (Jean) and beloved sister Audrey Weston. She will be
sadly missed by her nephews, nieces and their families: Mike
and Veronica McDermott (Christopher and Tiina, Jonathan and
Sarah); Marnie Litchen, (Julie); Kathy
and Jonathan Edmondson (Caroline, Katie and Christopher); Marilee and
Randy Hornung (Alexander and Nicholas); Dawn and Roger Boucher (Tracy
and Matt, Sharon and Geoff); Faye and Bryan James; Jack and Susan
Brady; David Brady; Allin and Patricia Brady (Allyson,
Nathan and Adam). She was predeceased by her brother Don McDermott and
his wife Nancy, her niece Heather Weston, brother-in-law Ben
Weston, brother and sister-in-laws Al and Verna Brady and
nephew, Howard Litchen. Other family and friends are
numerous but there was always a special place in Mary’s
heart for her lifetime friend and soulmate, Beryl Waghorn (Larry) and
her beloved neighbours, Clyde, Elizabeth, Morgan and Leah
Hillier.
We wish to express our thanks to the wonderful caregivers at
Country Terrace who provided Mary with such loving and tender care in
her final months.
There will be a celebration of Mary’s extraordinary
life at the Logan Funeral Home, 371
Dundas Street (between Waterloo and Colborne Streets), London on
Friday, November 1, 2019. at 11:00 a.m. with visitation 1
hour prior.
In lieu of flowers, donations to St. Joseph’s
Hospital in London would be appreciated.
A tree will be planted as a living memorial to
Mary.
