Mary passed away in the early hours of December 7, 2010 after a brief illness. She was born near Tuffnell, SK on the family farm. In 1941, Mary moved to Moose Jaw, SK where she worked, married, raised her family and resided for sixty-one years before moving to Saskatoon in 2002. Mary was a wonderful mother devoted to her family. Predeceased by her parents, four siblings, her husband Mike in 1968 and a daughter Mary Anne in 1989. Lovingly remembered and sadly missed by her children: Jeanette (Barry) Airdrie, AB, Lucie (Bill) Saskatoon, SK, and Michael, Regina, SK; grandchildren: Andrea, Steven (Alana), Chantelle (Scott), Mick (Kelsey), Mandy (Mark), Tanya (Irv), Taras; four great-grandchildren, three great-great-grandchildren; brother Steve (Francis) and sister Bella, all of Winnipeg, MB; several nieces, nephews and their families.
In keeping with Mary's wishes there will be no funeral. Cremation has taken place. A memorial service will be held at a later date in Moose Jaw.
Those we love remain with us for love itself lives on,
And cherished memories never fade because a loved one's gone.
Those we love can never be more than a thought apart,
For as long as there is memory...they will live on in the heart.
