at Morrison Brass in downtown Toronto and when they closed she went to
work at the North York Board of Education and eventually became Head

wonderful life together for 27 years. They loved to travel
and made numerous trips to the East and West Coasts of Canada,
California and Barbados, making lasting friendships along the
way. Mary’s family would like to thank the staff
at St. Andrews Terrace for their care during these difficult times,
the Stevens family for their visits and birthday parties, and
Mary’s many neighbours and friends and parishioners at
Trinity Anglican Church. She will be missed. Due
to COVID-19 restrictions, a small Private
Family gathering has been arranged and a
Celebration of Life for family and friends will be held at a later
date when it is safe to do so. Donations to the Alzheimer
Society Cambridge or a charity of your choice would be
appreciated.
