Debevc, Mary Caroline (née Smith)
July 18th, 2021
With Loving family by her side, Mary, beloved wife for 60 years of the late Edward (2014), passed away peacefully on Sunday, July 18, 2021, at University Hospital, London. Mary was formerly a long-time resident of Windsor. Survived by her children: Edward (Heather), of Amherstburg, ON; Kathryn Debevc, of London, ON; Caroline (Doug) Minne, of Stoney Creek, ON; Thomas (Melissa), of Chatham, ON; and Teresa (George) Cantalini, of Edmonton, AB. Cherished grandmother of Adam, Kelly, Jennifer, Mathew, Serena, John, Susan, and Mark; great-grandmother of Michael and Ivy. Dear sister of Fred Smith (Anita McLean) (late Ann, 2007); and Edward (Barbara) Smith. Predeceased by her parents, Thomas (1955) and Florence (1985) Smith; and her brother Thomas Smith (2000) (Louise Kelly) (late Olga, 2018). Mary was a dedicated Maycourt volunteer and a CWL member for many years. The family would like to thank the kind care that our mom received at Richmond Woods, especially her caregiver, Sandra. All who knew mom appreciated that she was game for any outing or activity and a special “shout out” goes to the recreation team at Richmond Woods. Special thanks to Gerry Saby and JoAnn King who remained steadfast friends to mom. Thanks also to the kind, compassionate care given by the nurses and doctors of the surgical and ICU teams at University Hospital in London, who valiantly tried to extend mom’s life, some of you were a “real pain in the neck”. We are eternally grateful. Visitation will be held on Wednesday, July 21, 2021 from 2:00 – 4:00 p.m. at Westview Funeral Chapel, 709 Wonderland Road North, London. The Funeral Mass will be celebrated at St. Michael’s Parish, 511 Cheapside Street, London on Thursday, July 22, 2021 at 10:00 a.m. Interment to follow at St. Peter’s Cemetery, London. Outdoor reception at the home of Fred Smith to follow (directions given at time of funeral). Registration is required to attend the visitation and Funeral Mass.
