Mary Margaret (Stevens) (Pinch) Milbury
1936-2022
Mary Margaret (Stevens) (Pinch) Milbury
– It is with sorrow we announce the passing of our mother
after a lengthy illness fought with dignity and grace, on May 19,
2022, at the age of 85, at Evergreen Home for Special Care, Kentville.
Born in Wolfville, she was the daughter of the late Ernest Stevens and
Bessie (Benjamin) Stevens.
Mary worked for Sanisteam Laundry, Wolfville
and Wades Grocery, Kentville for many years prior to retiring.
Mary’s love of country music and dancing were well known.
Many Saturday’s you would find her at the Royal Canadian
Legion Branch #6, enjoying dancing and laughing with family, friends
and strangers alike. She made many lifelong friends this
way. Mary loved a kitchen party. Everyone would bring their
instruments and we would dance, sing and play cards. We enjoyed many
of those with her through the years. Mary had a sharp wit, a great
sense of humor, and telling an off color joke was not unheard of! One
of her greatest joys was listening to her father play the fiddle. Mary
also had a love of gardening and enjoyed bingo. Above all, she was a
loving mother and grandmother.
Mary is survived by her children, David
(Janice) Pinch, St. Catharines, ON; Darlene (Tim) Lindsay,
Strathmore, AB; Marilyn (George) Misner, Kentville; Melvin (Doris)
Pinch, New Minas; brothers, Asaph Stevens, Centreville; James Stevens,

great-grandchildren; and many nieces, nephews and extended
family.
In addition to her parents, she was predeceased
by her brother, Albert Benjamin; sister, June Cameron; and grandson,
Donald Smyth.
