MARY BROWN (nee DANYLCHUK) Peacefully in the early morning of Wednesday, December 16, 2009, at her home in Sunnywood Manor, Pine Falls, Mary passed away in her 92nd year. Left to cherish her memory are her children Lynda and Bob Seguin and Sharon and Marcel Candaele. She was beloved Nana to Tim, Paula and Kenzie Seguin, Stacy, Eric, Sidonia, Leo and Joey Cole, Marnie, Darren and Brynna Crete and Jodie, Emma and Nathan Dupre. She also leaves her brother Bill (Katherine) Danylchuk, sisters-in-law Denise Joy, Lillian Rousseau and Phyllis Brown, along with many nieces and nephews. She will also be missed by Kenzie's Mom Cathy Campbell. Mary was predeceased by her beloved husband Allan, parents Peter and Mary, brother Steve and sister Ann. Mary met Allan in Pine Falls in early 1938. They married in November, 1938 and settled in Pine Falls where they raised their family. Nana's faith was strong and she was very active in the United Church, singing in the choir, teaching Sunday School and volunteering with the United Church Women. She was a Charter Member of the Pine Falls Chapter of the Order of the Eastern Star and a member of the Coronation Rebecca Lodge, as well as many other community groups. In 1950, Mary and Allan found a lot at Betula Lake in the Whiteshell and proceeded to build their Cabin in the woods. It was a place where they spent many joyful times and made so many good friends. Nana was the instigator of many water fights and other goofy pranks which will provide her grandchildren and great grandchildren with happy memories for years to come. To our Sunnywood Family-there are no words to express our gratitude for your compassionate, patient and caring attitude towards Mary this past almost six years and most particularly this last three weeks. You are our angels and we love you all! Cremation has taken place and a celebration of Mary's life will be held at the Manitou Lodge in Pine Falls on January 9, 2010 from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. Please join us in the sharing of happy memories of her long and productive life. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Sunnywood Manor, Residents Council, Box 2000, Pine Falls, MB R0E 1M0.
