Mary has had a long and distinguished career as a teacher in Guyana, South America. She immigrated to Canada since 1982 where she lived in Edmonton, Toronto and Winnipeg. She has touched many lives in a positive way, not only as a teacher, but also as a friend and mentor. We will miss her zest for life, her bubbly personality and friendly attitude to everyone she met. As trees are trimmed and wreaths are hung, As loved ones gather and carols sung, You're thought of with love and wished the best, Of all that makes you the happiest. We love you Mom. We wish to thank all the doctors, nurses and support staff at the St. Boniface Hospital and Health Sciences Centre (SICU) for their exemplary care and support to us and our mother.
