Obituary
Mary Louise Courage (1944-2025) died on January 7, 2025 after a sudden illness. She is predeceased by her parents, Henry and Miriam Renouf, sisters Deane Renouf and Priscilla Renouf and the father of her children, George Courage.
Mary is survived by her children, Adam (Debbie Curtis), Noel (Lisa Koh) and Catherine (Gerardo Capiel), sister Tia Renouf (Peter Knauss), brothers-in-law Roger Pickavance and Bora Merdsoy, and her grandchildren, Lauren (Miguel Santos), Daniel, and Jemi. Mary is also missed by a large circle of academic colleagues and friends, especially life-long friend Maire O’Dea (Shane).
Mary spent nearly five decades at Memorial University, where she was a renowned expert in children’s learning and development. She also served terms as Head of the Department of Psychology and as the Dean of Science. Many of Mary’s former students have kindly acknowledged her valued contribution to their academic success. She was also honoured as a University Research Professor and Professor Emeritus in recognition of her distinguished career.
Mary was an avid walker, a voracious reader, an excellent cook, a global traveller, a cat fancier, and an enthusiast of clever dinner conversation. She was a kind friend, a caring parent, and a very proud grandmother. Her wit and wisdom will be missed.
Visitation will take place at Caul’s Funeral Home, LeMarchant Road, on Sunday, January 12, 1:00-4:00 pm and 7:00-9:00 pm with a memorial gathering in Caul’s Funeral Chapel on Monday, January 13, 2025 at 11:00 am.
