Mary Victoria deBoon (formerly Long) passed away at Leduc, AB on February 12, 2021. Born the youngest of five on the homestead at Carmangay, AB on June 3, 1928 to Ellen Middleton (Scott) and Thomas Middleton, she was the last of her generation at age 92, passing peacefully in her sleep from natural causes. She is survived by her children Cathy Long, Linda Long (Peter), Ida Howe (Rob), Ellen Long (Eve), David Long (Jeannette) and her step-son Richard deBoon (Conny); grandchildren Ria-Mae, Mathew Long, John (d.), Josh and Keegan Portlock, Megan Reinsch, Jordan Howe, Savannah Long, Stephanie Hudson and Shaelyn Vandiver, Wendy and Brenda deBoon; great-grandchildren Quintin, Cassius, Amadea, Mya, Aiden, Clover, Adeline, Rayna, Lylah and Ember Joy; along with many other extended family members.

A memorial service will be held at Heimtal Moravian Church, Edmonton (Ellerslie), AB at a later time, at which time Mary’s ashes will be interred in her joint plot with Henry, bringing them back together as they had long ago planned. The date of the memorial service is dependent on Covid restrictions and will be available on this online obituary once scheduled.
