Mary is lovingly remembered by her son Richard, daughter-in-law Terrie, her grandchildren Kristee-Jo (Shawn), Nicole (Mike) and, the light of her life, her great-grandson Jack Hnituk Clement. Mary was predeceased by her husband Joe, her sisters Julia (Melesko) and Nettie (Barron), her brothers Walter, Paul, Mike and Bill, her brothers-in-law Nick Melesko, Herman Ratchinsky, and Leonard Kruger and her sister-in-law Ann Muckosky. She is also remembered by her sisters Olga Ratchinsky, Anne Pedersen, Martha (John) Shymko, sisters-in-law Rose Muckosky and Helen Muckosky and brother-in-law Ed Barron as well as numerous nieces, nephews and extended family. Mary was born on September 20, 1914 on the homestead near Sky Lake, Manitoba. At a young age she moved to Winnipeg where she ultimately met her husband Joe. They raised their son Richard in West Kildonan where she took great pride in her family, home and garden. From a very young age Kristee-Jo and Nicole enjoyed many a Saturday at their Baba's - listening to stories, watching TV with Baba and Gigi and a sleepover'! This family tradition has been carried on by Richard and Terrie (Gigi and Nana) who enjoy every sleepover and moment spent with Jack. Time with your grandchildren is so important! Following Joe's passing, Mary sold her home on Smithfield and moved to the Crystallite Apartments on Partridge. Most recently she was a resident of Oakview Place in order to be closer to her family. Sincere thanks to the staff on 2 West at Oakview who became part of Mary's extended family' and treated her with dignity and respect - you always had a smile or a hug for Mary. All of you are very special, dedicated people! The Funeral Service will be held at Cropo Funeral Chapel, 1442 Main Street on Saturday, October 27 at 9:30 a.m. with viewing commencing one hour prior. Interment to follow at All Saints Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Mary's memory to CancerCare Manitoba Foundation Inc.

Gone is the face we loved so dear, Silent is the voice we loved to hear, Too far away for sight or speech, But not too far for thought to reach, Sweet to remember her who once was here, And who, though absent, is just as dear. I will miss you dearly Auntie Mary. My thoughts and prayers are with all of the family. - Posted by: Glen Kruger (Nephew) on: Oct 25, 2012

So sorry to hear of your Mom's passing away. Having had a couple of close family pass away I know how terribly painful it is to lose a loved one. Hope all the beautiful memories you have had with your Mom and Dad will sustain you in the coming days. One thing I can never forget is the big smile your Mom always had no matter the time of day or whenever. And how gracious she was to all your friends. Drawing on all the good times will really help you through these painful days. Again sorry of your loss of your Mother, Grandmother and Great-Grandmother. Love Lynn - Posted by: Lynn (Solylo) Newlin (friend of long ago to Richard and Terri) on: Oct 25, 2012
