Leahy; their children, Theresa Mercer (Ian), Anne Marie Ahearn (Bob),
John (Marian), Mary Lou Lawlor (Bill), Margie Maxwell (Jeff), Tim
(Shelley), Mark (Stephanie) and Maureen Olsen (Tim); 13 grandchildren,

Mary was a
graduate of Saint Vincent’s High School, Class of
1950. She was employed with the Bank of Nova Scotia prior to
raising her family. As a long-standing member of the Holy
Trinity CWL, she enjoyed many years of comradery and service to the
Parish of Holy Trinity and beyond.
Enjoying
these last few years in the comfort of their beautiful new Lake House,
she and Bill made every day count, sharing lots of laughter and
reminiscing with friends and family.
