Mary was devoted to family, friends, community and church.
She was a wonderful mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, wife,
sister and friend. Mary lived a very full life. She worked hard at
whatever the task at hand. She always had time for a phone call, a
visit, a cup of tea and a word of support. If anyone needed help she
was there. She spent her life looking after others and welcomed
everyone into her home. Her positive attitude made anything you were
doing seem possible. Mary became interested in genealogy and spent
many years exchanging letters and phone calls while also receiving
visitors from all over the world. If you had a question, you just
called Mary because she would know the answer. Mary was a member of
the River Denys Presbyterian Church.
Mary’s family would like to thank all her
caregivers over the years, Dr. Collins and Dr. Pluta, the doctors and
nurses of the Strait Richmond Hospital, Dr. Ritter, palliative nurses,
continuing care nurses, all the home care workers and especially Donna
and Arlene who were just like family. Kennie, who supported her day to
day which allowed her to stay in her own home for many years and
Malcolm and Elizabeth who Mary lived with the few years and who took
excellent care of her.
