Parcourez la nécrologie de Mary Plantus-Riviere 2023 résidant dans la province Ontario pour le détail des funérailles
Passed away suddenly on July 15th, 2023 at the age of 72, after a 48 hour battle for her life. Selfless mother to Michael and wife Rose. Loving Gamma to Liam and Logan. Dear wife of Francois Riviere and former wife of Richard Plantus. Special sister of Liz (late Ken) Simpson, Nello (Mary) Matassa, Maurice (Anne) Matassa, Julio Matassa, Anna (late Paul Mrstik) Matassa, late Bruno (Jackie) Matassa, late Lou (late Theresa) Matassa. Mary will be missed by many nieces and nephews.
Personally and professionally, Mary focused on her love of children. She graduated from the University of Windsor with Honours degrees in English and French, and a Masters in Education. As a teacher and principal for the GECDSB, she was a proud Women’s Rights advocate, affirmative action resource teacher and helped lead the VIP program in her schools. Through charitable acts of kindness, she was able to help families in her school community. As a principal, she was supportive of her staff and encouraged them to put their families first.
In her years after retirement Mary was a world traveler, spending time experiencing many different countries and cultures with her husband Francois. Their marriage gave her new life, energy and an opportunity to experience the world with her love. She spent her years both with her family in Canada and new-found family in France. Her happiness came from spending time with the ones she loved and cooking delicious meals for them. Holding Christmas gatherings, dinner parties, and broadcasting the Matassa family reunion were her specialties.
The greatest joy in Mary’s life came from spending time with her Grandsons, Son, and Daughter-in-law. She will be remembered by Liam and Logan for giving the best cuddles, hugs, and singing lullabies as they fell asleep in her arms. More than a mother-in-law, she was an advocate and supported Rose in her pursuit of further education and career fulfilment. Mary provided a shining example of how to be a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother and friend. As a mother, Mary always put her son Michael first without question. She made the mold of what a parent should be. Kind, patient, supportive, loving and at times strict.
To those who knew her well, her worth was immeasurable and her impact on them was undeniable.
In the present we mourn her loss, but as we weep here on earth, we know that heaven has gained another Angel.
