MARY MARGARET HOARE
(nee DELAMATER)

Mary Margaret Hoare, peacefully at Oakview Place in Winnipeg on January 7, 2021. Mary was predeceased by her husband Robert Hoare; parents, Walter and Ethel Delamater; sisters, Laura Delamater and Iva Wood. She is survived by her two children, Tricia and Ted (Susan); and two grandchildren, Ricki-Lee (Alex) and Brett, as well as nieces and nephews.
Mary was born on January 28, 1918 on the farm in Oak River, Manitoba. She attended Oak River School then remained on the farm to help her dad for three years while her mom and older sister where in Ninette Tuberculosis Sanitorium. She graduated with the Gold Medal in General Proficiency from the St. Boniface School of Nursing in 1941. She worked in Neepawa and St. Boniface Hospitals over the next few years and spent the last year of the Second World War at the No. 5 Air Observer School in Winnipeg. She then spent two years at Christie Street Veteran's Hospital in Toronto, then attended Toronto University to study Clinical Supervision in Surgical Nursing. The next three years were spent at the University Hospital in Edmonton until her marriage to Robert in 1951. They lived in Ottawa where Mary worked for the VON. They moved to Brandon in 1958 where Mary was a "stay at home Mum" raising their two children and doing volunteer work. In 1974 they moved to Winnipeg where Mary returned to nursing at the Manitoba Cancer Clinic, did private duty nursing and retired in 1980.
Mary contributed in large measure to the organization and operation of a Drop-In-Center for Seniors (now the Prairie Oasis) in Brandon. Later, many years were spent within the fellowship of the ACW of St. Andrews Woodhaven Anglican Church, where her focus was on outreach, and visiting shut-in parishioners. Other interests included symphony, theatre, bridge, curling, birdwatching, gardening and time at Sandpiper Beach.
A private family service will be held with burial of cremains in the Memorial Rose Garden at St. Andrews Anglican Church, Winnipeg. Flowers and donations are gratefully declined.

Condolences & Memories (7 entries)

  • Dear Family I am very sorry for the loss of Mary. I had the honor of knowing her during our time spent together at SC II. She was a very special lady, and I enjoyed every minute of the time we spent and in particular, listening to her story. She was one of the very few who could be described as a true "lady". We will all miss her very much. - Posted by: Karen Single (friend) on: Jan 13, 2021

  • Sorry Ted for the loss of your mother. Condolences to you and your family. May she rest in peace. - Posted by: Bradley Pisiak (met Ted working at Sperry/Unisys/Lockheed Martin) on: Jan 09, 2021

  • I met Mary about 30 years ago in church. I have always admired her. Mary to me was a smart, strong lady. I do remember her telling me that when she passes away, she did not want a funeral, where people get up to say how wonderful they after they are gone. That stuck with me all these years, and I too agree with her thinking. You lived a long life Mary...Rest in peace - Posted by: Laraine Shepherd (church friend) on: Jan 09, 2021
