LEWIS, Mary - Mary Lewis passed away peacefully in her sleep June 20, 2023 at Lakeridge Health Oshawa.
Mary was predeceased by her husband of 59 years, Morgan Lewis.
Mary leaves behind her son Jeff (Jaan) and daughter Tracey (Jeff Gardner) as well as 5 grandchildren, Jesse, Nick, Spencer, Connor, and Kaitlyn.
Mary was born in Abaco Bahamas and had 2 brothers and 4 sisters. Mary got a job right out of school when a friend told her that the Royal Bank of Canada was hiring in Nassau. She met Morgan when he was transferred by the bank to Nassau.
They were married in 1962, days before Morgan was transferred back to Canada.
A few years later they returned to Nassau with Jeff and Tracey in tow.
After 3 years in Nassau and 2 years in the Grand Caymans they would eventually relocate to Canada until they moved to Marsh Harbour, Bahamas for 3 more years when Morgan retired.
Mary was always available to help out, selling raffle or 50/50 tickets, organising a fund raiser or just being there for a friend.
She loved having family dinners, especially around the holidays.
Mary was lucky to have so many close friends, and she was never one to be a wall flower. Because of Morgans affiliation with Barbershop singing and Harmony Ranch, Mary’s list of friends would make some envious.
It is ok to feel saddened for Mary’s untimely passing, but you can keep her spirit and love in your heart.
In lieu of flowers please consider making a donation to your favourite charity in memory of Mary.
Arrangements with Mount Lawn Funeral Home & Cemetery.
