She was predeceased by her brothers; William, Arnold, John and Joseph and her sister Marion, Margaret, Gladys and Ruby.

Mary was a stay-at-home mom until she trained as a RPN at the age of 54 and worked at the Golden Manor for several years. The family would also like to take this opportunity to thank the many caregivers over the last three months for their compassion and care that enabled her to remain in her home as she wanted.
Respecting her wishes, cremation has taken place. Funeral service will be held on Thursday, August 22, 2019 at 11:00 a.m. at the Covenant United Church followed by a reception at the church.
