Mary was born in Gravelbourg, Saskatchewan and grew up on the family farm in Gimli, Manitoba. She relocated as a young adult to Winnipeg where she built a life centered on family. She had a passion for gardening and took great pride in her flowers. She enjoyed playing cards, crocheting, occasional visits to the casino and in earlier years Friday night dancing at the Legion.
