Mary (nee Lockwood) Hancox

It is with sadness that we announce the death on November 26, 2016 of our dear mum, Mary Hancox, at age 91. Mary was born in Manchester, England, and came to Canada in 1944 as a war bride to join our father, Bill Hancox, whom she had met and married in England when he was in the RCAF. A special needs teacher for 20 years, Mary truly loved her students at West Kent and Birchwood. She had great confidence their abilities and championed their right to take part in all aspects of school life. Mary had a passion for arts and literature and excelled when she had the opportunity to attend UPEI after her children had grown, acquiring her BA in 1977. Among the countless things her family will miss is her wry sense of humour – including her fabulous text messages – which was a constant source of entertainment, for herself as much as anyone. She leaves a profound void in the lives of her children Richard (Cara), Michael (Wendy) and Amanda (Scot), grandchildren Rachel, Emma, Aaron, Allegra and Luke, and great-grandchildren Aidan, Kaelan and Malcolm. She also leaves good friends Grace, Ruth, Donna and Melvin. A celebration of our mother’s life will be held at a later date. Arrangements entrusted to MacLean Funeral Home Swan Chapel. www.macleanfh.com
