Fondly remembered by her many nieces, nephews and extended family members from Canada, The Netherlands, Denmark, and the United States; and will be missed by her many friends. Mary was not only a farmer’s wife but a farmer extraordinaire! She tended to the household chores but was also deeply involved in the success of the Nanne family farms. She understood cattle and knew the pedigree of every cow in their herd. Her knowledge, wisdom and talents will be remembered by many. Many thanks for the loving caregivers including Wendy Jonkman, who came to her home; and for all the hospital staff at the Civic and Almonte Hospitals; and for the professional care given at Carleton Lodge, Manotick. Mary’s final care and arrangements were entrusted to the Pilon Family Funeral Home and Chapel Ltd., 50 John Street North, Arnprior where a private family visitation was held. Extended family and friends were invited to join us on their electronic devices for a Webcast Funeral Liturgy that was celebrated in the Pilon Family Chapel on Wednesday morning, September 30th at 11 o’clock.
