A Mother’s
love is a blessing. And to say we were blessed was an understatement.
It is with profound heartache and the utmost sadness that we announce
the passing of a devoted Wife, Cherished Mother, Mother-in-Law,
Grandmother, Great-Grandmother, Sister and friend.
Pre-deceased by her parents Thomas and Margret Ward; Brothers
Anthony (Sandra), Isadore (Theresa – also deceased), and Leonard
(Bertha); Sister Eileen Jankowski (Doug); special
daughter-in-law, Donna Pittman; Parents-in-law Lillian and William
Brewer; Brothers-in-law Martin (Theresa- also deceased), Joseph
(Joyce- Also Deceased), and Wish (Muriel).
Mary
leaves behind her husband Kevin of 52 years; her children Damian
(Donna – deceased), Shellie (John Taylor), and Rhonda (Ambrose
Griffiths); 6 grandchildren – Austin, Meghan, Kevin Ashley, Chloe and
Kian; 3 great-grandchildren – Ethan, John Patrick, and Remy; brothers
John (Rita), Peter (Lucy), and Tom (Joanne); brother-in-Law Peter
Brewer (Ann), Willie (Wanda), sisters-in-law Rose (Jack Guthrie –
deceased) and Jane Marshall (Sam); as well as numerous nieces and
nephews, especially the Bight crowd; and she was blessed herself with
some of the best friends anyone could ask for – far too many to
mention.
Mary loved to quilt, sew, and knit –
you name it, she done it and was an extreme perfectionist, although
she never gave herself any credit and was her own biggest critic. In
later years, she would gift her quilts to family members as some sort
of thank you in return for some kind gesture they had done for herself
or Dad. If you got a quilt from May Brewer – consider yourself lucky.
Cherish it.
Thank you to the nurses at the ICU
7th Floor at Carbonear General Hospital for the Compassion they showed
not only to mom but to all of us during this most difficult time in
our lives. Especially Caroline, Heidi, Jennifer, and Katie.
Resting at Maher’s Funeral Home on Wednesday, April
