MARY CHUDLEY (nee DAMAN) 1919 - 2004 Surrounded by her family, Mary passed peacefully and with dignity from this world into the next on Saturday, August 28 at Jocelyn House.

Mary was predeceased by her husband Albert Edward Jr. (Ab), in 1969; by her parents, Johannes Frederichs and Sien Daman; by her brother Marinas John and her sister Dean. Mary was born on December 19, 1919 and was raised in Winnipeg. She worked in the mail order department of Eatons for many years, retiring in 1968. She married Ab on September 28, 1968 and was widowed on February 12, 1969. She delighted in her family and was especially proud of her grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-nephews. Mary always remembered a birthday or anniversary. In her earlier years she enjoyed 5-pin bowling (where she met Ab) and spent many restful weekends and summers in the family cottage at Brereton Lake. Mom was a fabulous knitter and we all proudly wore the fruits of her labour. Mary was a member of the Confidence Rebekah Lodge No. 40 I.O.O.F. The family wishes to express their thanks for the excellent care and comfort provided by Dr. Dennis Caners and staff, the nurses and staff of 3 East at Concordia Hospital, and the doctors, nurses and staff at Jocelyn House. Cremation has taken place and a memorial service to celebrate Marys life will be held at Transcona Memorial United Church, 209 Yale Ave. West, Transcona, on Tuesday, September 7 at 1:30 p.m., the Rev. Carol Fletcher officiating. Transcona Funeral Chapel Ltd. is entrusted with arrangements. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Jocelyn House, 177 Egerton Rd., Winnipeg (www.jocelynhouse.ca).
