Mary is predeceased by her brothers, Louis (Fern, predeceased), George (Collette, predeceased), and Steve (predeceased) (Evelyn). She was married to her husband Gerard (Gerry, predeceased) for 57 years. Mary was a cashier at the former Dominion Store on Riverside Drive for many years. Before Gerry’s passing, they spent many wonderful winters in Florida.

She was very proud of her 22 great grandchildren. She will be missed by many nieces and nephews. A heartfelt thanks to the nurses and staff of the 4th floor, North Tower, especially Tammy.
