My deepest condolences to all of Mary's Family.
Mary and I met at the Civic in 1978. We worked side by side for over 18 + years.
She became a true and loyal friend.
We had a wonderful close friendship, We shared many stories,outings, and had tons of laughs and cries over the years. (mainly laughs)
In our office anytime the song "Islands in the Stream"came on the radio, I had to be quiet...(sometimes we would even take the phone off the hook ha ha. It was her favourite song and she would dance and sing along (she loved to dance)
To this day anytime I hear that song, I immediately think of Mary.
She met and knew all my family. When our youngest daughter that lived near Mary had her first child, Mary walked over with a beautifully wrapped gift (a set of Bunnykins dishes.) She was a very thoughtful and kind person.
Mary would never reveal her age to me. (now I know LOL) She seemed to never age, always looked the same. She ate healthy, walked everywhere, and was rarely ever sick.
After I retired, Often my sister Joan and I would meet up with Mary on Merivale Rd for chats.
I bet Kenny Rogers is singing Islands in the Stream, and Mary is still dancing.
R.I.P. Mary
