Szabo, Mary Helen (nee Lenc)
what if
there isn’t enough time
to give her what she deserves
do you think
if I begged the sky hard enough
my mother’s soul would
return to me as my daughter
so I can give her
the comfort she gave me
my whole life
-Rupi Kaur
It is with great sadness that we announce Mary’s unexpected passing on Monday, September 26, 2022 in her 69th year. Beloved and devoted mother of Charlene (Joey) Granger and Diana (Berker) Bilgin. Mary will be deeply missed by her significant other Paul. Cherished and proud grandmother of Julianna and Emily Granger. Loving daughter of Paraskovia and predeceased by her father Jozef Lenc (1980). Dear sister of Peter (Mary) Lenc, Vera Lenc (Don Farquharson), and Helen Flynn. She will be greatly missed by all of her nieces and nephews; Matthew (Austin) Nichols, Michael Lenc, Christina (Chris) Peacock, Kyle (Daniela), Kori, Kaileigh, and Krista Flynn.
Mary started her career at the Addiction Research Foundation and later moved onto working for The Niagara District Health Council as an Administrative Officer. Being surrounded by her family was her greatest joy. Her devotion to her loved ones was extraordinary. She always took care of others before herself. Mary’s beautiful and generous spirit will live on in our hearts forever. Her favourite hobbies were cooking, gardening, walking in nature, and reading. We will miss her greatly.
