MARY G. (HUTCHISON) MAGNUSSON
MAGNUSSON, MARY G. (HUTCHISON) - It is with tremendous sadness that we notify family and friends of Mary's death. Mary passed away peacefully, but unexpectedly on May 4, 2008 at her home in Kamloops, BC, at the age of 55. Recently diagnosed with cystic fibrosis, Mary showed extraordinary strength of character and resilience and continued to live positively even when faced with her illness. Mary is survived by her husband of 25 years, Keith; sister, Helen Hutchison (Harry Quinlan) of Fredericton; brother, John (Marion) Hutchison of St. Stephen; and brothers-in-law, Darcy and Don Magnusson of British Columbia, and their families. Mary was predeceased by her parents, Jack and Alma (Saulnier) Hutchison of Bristol, NB. It is without a doubt that Mary will be remembered by most for her fun-loving nature and adventurous spirit. A career in the travel industry seemed perfect for her, providing many opportunities to travel the world and live life to the fullest. She shared her enthusiasm for people and fine foods with her husband and friends, and nothing could be more satisfying than sharing a fine meal with fine people. A celebration of life will take place at a later date. Personal condolences would be welcomed by emailing maggs@telus.net. For those who wish to make a donation in Mary's memory, the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation of Canada offered her support and encouragement throughout her illness.
