Raised in Nova Scotia, Mary lost her beloved mother at age 13. At this point in her life her extended family and friends in Cape Breton filled her life with love, and memories she carried with her forever.

In 1957 Mary & Dennis were married and moved to Victoria, BC where they began to raise their young family. In 1969 the family moved to Ladysmith where Mary remained for the rest of her life.

Mary was a kind & generous person whose life was centered around her family. Mary loved to dance and she also loved to bake and sew and was a very active member of St. Mary's Parish & CWL.

She was so loved by family and friends and her generous spirit will remain alive in all those who touched her.
