In loving memory of Mary Kanerva, 84 years, who passed away on Saturday, January 25th, 2025.
Mary was born in Manitoba to her parents Metody and Joanna Kobuziak, “Baba”. Loving sister of Daria (Zenon) Yarymowich and Taras Kobuziak. Proud Aunt to Catherine (James), Maia (Chris) and Michael (Lucy).
Beloved mother of Eric, Donna, Myrna, Elaine (Urban), and Mark. Predeceased by the father of her children, Ronald Wayne Kanerva. (Died 2020)
She will be missed by her grandchildren; Cortney (Drue), Erin (Dan), Cody (Alex), Chad (Michelle), Brett, Amra (Rose), Massiah, Chelsey and Cerina. Great grandmother of little Henley and Amaron.
Mary loved cooking. Special holidays and occasions were celebrated with a feast. She looked forward to family gatherings and made everyone feel welcome. When she wasn’t in the kitchen, Mary was out tending to her vegetable and flower gardens. When blueberries ripened, she was off to the hill to pick! Other hobbies included women’s league bowling, sewing, knitting, and becoming a Girl Guide leader.
She was a very skilled, self-taught artist. For decades, she produced many wonderful sketches and oil paintings, which she gifted to friends and family members. As well, Mary loved and appreciated her music, be it Ukrainian or Spanish.
From an early age, Mary befriended some of the Manitoba farm animals, which sparked a lifetime of enjoying our many family cats and dogs.
From 1975 to 1983, Mary was co-owner of “The Shop”, which had its humble beginnings in a tiny space on Algonquin Road. The business grew, eventually relocating to Fielding Road.
Volunteerism was important to her. Mary was a member and volunteer at St. Mark’s United Church for several decades, and volunteered at Inner City Home for many years. Her generosity didn’t end there; Mary regularly donated to multiple charities and causes that she deemed worthwhile.
As her brother so aptly stated:
“We would all have to live a very long time before we ran out of good things to say about Mary.”
In lieu of flowers, donations to the Inner City Home or St. Joseph’s Villa would be appreciated.
At Mary’s request, there will be no funeral visitation or service. Cremation at Sudbury Parklawn. A celebration of life will be held at a later time.
