GUEST, Mary Helen (nee McKAGUE) -
February 12, 1925 - March 15, 2023
It is with deep sadness that we announce the death of Mary Guest on Wednesday, March 15, 2023.
Mary had celebrated her 98th birthday only one month earlier. Mary was predeceased by her husband, Don; her daughter, Susan; and her brother, Donald.
She is survived by her son, Allan (his wife, Ulla); her niece, Kelli McKague Carmichael; and by her grandnieces, Jessica and Sophie.
Devoted grandmother to Morah "Poochie" Guest and Michael Guest; and loving great-grandmother of Georgia Bowman. Mary was born on February 18, 1925, in the hamlet of Sonya, Ontario.
After marrying Don, they eventually settled in North York and raised their two children. Mary and Don travelled frequently, and summered at their cottage near Bobcaygeon where she had spent many happy days growing up.
They retired to Victoria Place in Bobcaygeon, where she continued to improve her games of golf and bridge, and made deep, lasting friendships. They frequently hosted their family in the summer months and during the holidays in Bobcaygeon, and after Don's passing, Mary continued to remain active.
Mary will be long remembered for her dazzling smile, the twinkle in her eyes, and her deep love of family. To know Mary was to love her, she would light up a room and always had people laughing.
A funeral service will be held at Trinity United Church, 44 William St., Bobcaygeon, Ontario, on Sunday, April 2, 2023, at 1:30 p.m., with refreshments to follow.
