It is with sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Marion Thomson 'Mazie' Bert of Reserve Mines. Mazie passed away Sunday, July 25, 2010, at the Glace Bay Hospital.
Born in Glace Bay, she was the daughter of the late Daniel and Margaret (McWhriter) McNeil.
Mazie was a member of St. Joseph's Church, Reserve Mines. She was employed in the cleaning industry for several years, and was co-owner of D and M Cleaning prior to her retirement. She loved to have her cup of tea, and enjoyed playing bingo. Mazie was the matriarch of her family and will be remembered as a mother to many.
