Mary was born in Rodney Ontario and grew up in Toronto. Don and Mary met at the Balmy Beach Club and their early life together centered on paddling and club activities. They relocated to Riverside Beach, Brechin in 1970 and settled into life on Lake Simcoe. Mary enjoyed golfing, curling, playing euchre, snowmobiling, and activities through the United Church.
She will be greatly missed by her loving family and all who knew her.
The family would like to thank Dr. Gerry Laudanski for his many years of wonderful care. As well, the family thanks the staff at the Lakeview Manor Adult Day Program and the staff on Hummingbird Circle for their kindness and gentle care.
In lieu of flowers, the family appreciates memorial donations to Lakeview Manor Residents' Council or the charity of your choice.
A celebration of Mary’s life will be held later in the spring.
