Mary’s Obituary
Mary Florence Dimock – It is with great sadness and deep loss that the family of Mary Florence Dimock announces her peaceful passing at her home on March 27, 2020. Born at her parents’ home in Limestone, NB on December 9, 1930, Mary was the oldest of four children of Ivor and Elsie (Bustard) Dixon.
Mary is survived by: her children, Janice E. Dimock (Blair Fry) of New River Beach, NB, Brent I. Dimock (Sharon Sharpe) of Sharp’s Mountain, NB and Andrea D. Dimock of Woodstock, NB; cherished granddaughter, Lauren M. Cummings of Woodstock, NB; siblings, Dennis Dixon (Carol) of Sherwood Park, AB and Carol Dixon of Pointe-du-Chene, NB; her nephew, Rob Furlan of Teeds Mills, NB and nieces, Linda Christie (Kim) of Mapledale, NB, Danica Dixon of Calgary, AB, Cara Paul of Fredericton, NB, Virginia Paul (Sheldon Illsley) of Freemont, NH and Sandra Breston (Ross) of Mississauga, ON; a grandniece, Denise Grant (Brian) of Newbridge, NB and grandnephews, Justin Furlan (Megan) of Teeds Mill, NB, David Kidney of Fredericton, Taylor Kidney of Shediac Cape, NB, Ryan Breston, Milton, ON and Mark Breston, Mississauga, ON.
In addition to her parents, Mary was predeceased by her sister, Joyce Furlan, her niece, Deneen Dixon, and our father, Arnold.
Mary would not want to be fussed over – in word or action – but she truly was an amazing woman who, through her generosity of spirit and velvet core of determination, left an indelible mark on all who knew her. She was always a loving and devoted mother and grandmother, as well as being a loyal friend. Mary will be dearly missed by family and friends.
During her 32-year co-ownership of Stiles Motel and Home Town Restaurant in Woodstock, Mary was the consummate hostess who welcomed all who walked through the front door. After a busy day, often one would find Mary on the restaurant’s veranda drinking coffee and knitting, while visiting with friends, both old and new. It could be said that Mary was the unofficial Ambassador to Woodstock, forever promoting the businesses, attractions and citizens of her town.
Despite the gruelling demands of the hospitality business, Mary found the time to become a St. John Ambulance volunteer, serve her Church, teach sewing, play bridge, and support a variety of community and business organizations. After her retirement in 2005, she widened her circle of interests to include Slammers’ hockey games, travelling and more hands-on volunteering. Politics always played a large part in Mary’s life and led to many a spirited debate. Mary’s keen wit and knowledge of current affairs served her well on more than one occasion.
Resting at the Scott Funeral Home, 815 Main Street Woodstock, NB
There will be no visitation or funeral at this time. So, break off a piece of cookie, grab a cup of coffee and sit down with a friend or two for a cozy chat in Mary’s honour.
A celebration of life will be held at a later date, with Scott’s Funeral Home handling the arrangements. Interment will be in the Kirk Cemetery, Northampton, NB.
Mary was truly appreciative of all the services and life-sustaining treatments from the Canadian Blood Services, Extra Mural and URVH doctors and nurses. Thank you from our family.
For those who wish to make a donation, please consider Saint James United Church, the Carleton County Animal Shelter, Carleton County Historical Society or a charity of your choosing. To further remember Mary, shop local when it is safe to do so, (and, if you get it for half price, buy two!).
