When the Lord called her home she was reunited with her dearly beloved husband John (1988), son Fred (1998), daughter-in-law Audrey (2002), as well as her mother and father and siblings.

She married John in 1933, had two sons, Walter and Fred and then in 1944 moved to Drumheller. Mary had a wonderful love of family, children, community and never took her life for granted.
