From her humble beginnings as a young teacher in Price
Settlement, to working in the Math Department of the University of

University of Alberta hospital, Mary served her community with grace,
purpose, intellect and passion. After her career, Mary returned to
Tabusintac and dedicated her life to care for her parents.
