Mary passed away peacefully at Extendicare Michener Hill in Red Deer. She was born at Youngstown on her parents’ sheep farm, where she grew up with her three younger sisters. She was married to Jim in 1937 and they continued living in Youngstown and raised their five children there. Mary was active in the community, including the library, Home and School, CWL, St. Paul’s Catholic Church, 50+ Club, and others. She loved to paint and gave away many of her paintings to family and friends. In 1996 Mary and Jim moved to Red Deer where they made many friends and lived the remainder of their lives.
