She married William Buzinski in 1946 and moved to Foxwarren to raise their family. In 1971 she moved to Winnipeg to work in the garment industry and later at Brazier Day Care Centre. Mary retired in 1988 and enjoyed spending time with her family and grandchildren. She loved to travel and especially loved the outdoors. She enjoyed her trips to the family cottage at Sioux Narrows, Ontario and spending many afternoons at City Park. On Saturday, April 30, 2011 a Celebration of Mary's Life will be held at 2:00 p.m. in the Chapel in Misericordia Place, 44 Furby Street, Winnipeg. The family wishes to extend a special thank you to the staff at Misericordia Place for their wonderful care during Mary's stay there. Mary loved flowers and gardens; hence the family asks that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to the Misericordia Foundation - Miz Place Garden in her memory.
