Predeceased by her loving husband of 50 years, William Norman, her mom and dad, Joseph and Elsie Greene, mother and father-in-law, John and Margaret Norman, brother Cec, Joe and wife Mary Greene, Gladys Greene, Rita and brother-in-law Bob Crowell, Paul Kelly, Derm and wife Rita, sister-in-law Pauline, and Ray Newman and special god child Pepetua Collins. Mary was such a wonderful and caring mom, and leaves behind her children, Donna, Rick and Lucy, Tonda and Bill Healey, Deneille and Edgar Wilson, and Todd and April;grandchildren Richard, Kayla, Michael, Jordan, Tyler, Bradley, Susan, Lucas, and Mary Isabella; great-grandchildren Kaydence, Kaliahna, Cash, Carson, Cole, Cooper, and Rylee.

Mary was so fortunate to have her children take special care of her, as they had promised their dad before he had passed. Donna is certainly an angel from heaven, we don't know what we would have done without her. The devotion she gave, not only to our mom but to our dad as well, meant more than she will ever know. We are so very grateful to our sister for keeping it all together. We are also so thankful for the special care, given to mom, by Linda Lake, whom we know, loved mom just as much as we did. After dad passed away, we are sure, he sent us you. Thank you Lulu. Mary was very fortunate to have many wonderful nieces, nephews and friends, too many people to mention but not too many to ever forget. Resting at Maher's Funeral Home, Placentia on Wednesday, August 16th from 6pm-9pm, and on Thursday, August 17th from 12pm-9pm. Mass of Christian Burial to be held on Friday, August 18th, 11am, at St. Jerome's Church, Long Harbour, with interment to follow at Dermot McGettigan Memorial Cemetery, Southeast Placentia.
