Mary was a member of St. Anne’s Church and very devoted to her faith. At one time she was involved with the cursillo movement. Mary used to own and operate Mary’s Gift Shops, both in New Waterford and Glace Bay. She loved going for drives and was a big fan of old-time country music.

Mary was predeceased by her first husband in 1966, Buddy Pickup and a brother in infancy.
Cremation has taken place. The funeral service will be held in the V.J. McGillivray Funeral Home Chapel, 16 Reserve St., Glace Bay. on Tuesday at 11 a.m. with Fr. Leo Boone officiating. Interment at a later date.
