Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryMARY GLADYS COVENTRY
Mary Gladys Coventry (Franklin) 74, passed peacefully on July 15, 2023.
Mary was predeceased by her father and mother, William (Bruce) and Jennet (Jean) Franklin, brothers, James and Kenneth, and sister Diana. She is survived by her brothers, Donald, Gordon (Mary), Stanley (Susan), and Norman (Pat) and many nieces, nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews.
Mary took great pleasure in leading seniors fitness classes at various locations and they were very appreciative of her ability to get them moving. Mary was also a huge Winnipeg Blue Bombers fan. She was an avid baker and we will miss her delicious butter tarts and buns that were present at all family dinners.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Heart & Stroke Foundation of Manitoba, Canadian Cancer Society (Manitoba Division) or Winnipeg Humane Society.
A private Celebration of Life will take place at a later date.

Aunty Mary, I'm sure we all remember the pool parties and family dinners you hosted. The games of musical chairs and the always fun gift exchange. Such good times. You kept us together, taught us to value the importance of family and I always appreciated that. I will miss you. - Posted by: Jamie Bednarz (Niece) on: Jul 26, 2023

I am a childhood friend of Mary. We kept in touch for many years. As children we would take walks together or go to the corner store. Later in life Mary loved to bake and take care of her home. She also loved her dog, Brandy. I will miss her. Condolences to the family. - Posted by: Judy Bonneville (Childhood friend) on: Jul 22, 2023

Dear Mary: How sad to hear of your passing. I remember the good times and the hard times when we were growing up on Flora Place. We often reminisced about our childhood, and I will miss our talks. Everyone at the Seven Oaks Senior's events will miss your energy, up-beat personality and your great smile. To Mary's family...Be strong for one another, and always keep Mary in your hearts. ...Marilyn Corbitt - Posted by: Marilyn Corbitt (Friend and neighbour) on: Jul 22, 2023
