Mary and Mike were married in 1949 and they farmed in Dencross. In 1977 Mike and Mary moved to Beausejour, where Mary worked at Vickies Snack Bar until she retired. She was a loving, kind and generous person, as well as a supportive and dedicated wife, mother and grandmother. Mary always cared for others first and placed herself last.
