Benefitting from her efforts were Meals on Wheels, Agape Table, Sisters of Mother Teresa, St. John Brebeuf school and parish, St. Ignatius Refugee Committee, League for Life, Canadian Cancer Society, and many other charities and worthy causes. She enjoyed travelling and spending time with her family. One of her favourite places was her cottage at Victoria Beach. She loved animals, especially her dogs Dutchy and Bruin and granddogs Bugsy and Annie. Mary lived her life for others and was especially devoted to her dear family. Her children never doubted her love for them and could always count on her support. Though we know she is now with God, she will be dearly missed. We love you Mom and Nanna.
