Mary also leaves to mourn her eight grandchildren, nine great-grandchildren, two great great-grandchildren and many nieces and nephews. Mary was was widowed at a very young age and she will always be appreciated for all that she went without in order to provide for her children. She was a loving and devoted Mother and Grandmother and can best be remembered as the friendly lady behind the counter at Acme Cleaners where she worked for over 40 years. She was an excellent cook and delighted in surprising her family with all her famous goodies. At Marys request, cremation has taken place and a Celebration of her life will be held at Notre Dame Catholic Church, Kenora on Wednesday, April 26 at 10:00 a.m. with Father Alan Campeau officiating Interment to follow at the Lake of the Woods Cemetery. Mary was always appreciative of the excellent care she received during her many stays at our local hospital, and therefore, if friends should desire, a donation in her memory would be most welcome to The Lake of the Woods District Hospital Foundation, 21 Sylvan St., Kenora, Ont. To Love a Mother and then to part Is the greatest trial of the human heart Years of caring, little of play, Loving and giving all the way A cherished smile, a heart of gold To the dearest Mother the world could hold. Rest in Peace Dear Mom, you deserve it.
